Azeri (horse) - As A Broodmare

As A Broodmare

Michael Paulson retired Azeri in December 2004. She has foaled two colts and two fillies from sires A.P. Indy, Giant's Causeway, Ghostzapper (who defeated her in the 2004 Breeders' Cup Classic) and Zenno Rob Roy. In her first breeding season in Kentucky she was barren to Storm Cat for 2005, but delivered a chestnut colt by A.P. Indy on February 14, 2007. This colt, Take Control, is the offspring of two Horses of the Year. He won his first race (a maiden special weights at Santa Anita) on December 30, 2009. She delivered a Giant's Causeway filly, Arienza (who broke her maiden March 6, 2011 in a six-furlong maiden special weights race at Oaklawn Park), in 2008 and a Ghostzapper filly, Wine Princess, in 2009.

Azeri stood at Hill 'n' Dale Farms in Lexington, Kentucky with other leading broodmares, including Silverbulletday and Better Than Honour (the dam of Belmont Stakes winners Jazil and Rags to Riches). Azeri was sold to Japanese owners in fall 2009 and, as of 2011, resides at Japan's Northern Farm. On May 7, 2011 she foaled a chestnut colt by Zenno Rob Roy.

Azeri was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 2010.
