Bold Union takes Endine Stakes
George and Lori Hall’s Bold Union notched a front running victory in the $150,000 Grade III Endine Stakes at Delaware Park today.
With Jose Velez Jr. aboard, the 3-year-old daughter of Dixie Union won by a length and returned $4.40 as the favorite in the field of six. The Kentucky-bred trained by Kelly John Breen cut early fractions of :21.96 for the quarter mile and :45.63 for the half mile before completing the six furlongs over a sloppy track in 1:10.41.
Pious Ashley, with A.R. Napravnik, finished second. It was another 1 ¾-lengths farther back to Fearless Leader, with Justin Shepherd, in third.
Bold Union increased her career record to five wins from ten starts with earnings of $304,800.
