About

Union Avenue, a 7yo bay colt trained by James Moffatt, ran in the Ayr R2 Watch On Racing TV Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race). He is by Shantou out of Mrs Mac Veale and has secured two wins. His biggest victory arrived on 26 Dec 2023 at Aintree, earning $7,377.00 in a Class 4 non‑handicap race. The horse has been a profitable choice for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 67% return on investment.
