Trained by John H. Morris, Azra's regular jockey was Alonzo Clayton. At age two, he won one of the important races for his age group, the Champagne Stakes. At age three, Azra won the Kentucky Derby in a race against just two other horses, the smallest field in the history of the race. He went on to win the Clark Handicap and the Travers Stakes.
Azra was not successful at stud and died in 1909[1] at the age of 20 at Bashford Manor Stable.[2]
