Azeri was more than a promising filly. She was horse of the year
for 2002---only the third of her sex ever to win that award in the 32
years it had been given out at the time. Her original owner was also
someone associated with oil overseas (Allen Paulson)--he named her.
Unfortunately, he passed away before she ever started her racing
career. At the time she was named Horse of the Year, Azeri was
considered to be the best racehorse in America, possibly in the world.
Her nickname in the stable was Honeybear...because she was so docile and
sweet.
2002 was her first full year of racing...she won 8 out of 9 races,
including her Breeders' Cup race...and her total prize money for the
year was over $2 million.
Great story...great filly...and possibly, a great bitch here, in the
Select 2 spot!
