Auraria was bred at St Albans stud in Victoria and bought for 280 guineas by David James of Kapunda.[2][3][4]
She raced 10 times as a two-year-old for six wins, three seconds and a fourth.[1]
As a three-year-old she had only seven starts, winning the Melbourne Cup, South Australian Derby, VRC Oaks and the Fisher Plate (dead heat with Wallace).[5] Her other results were third in the Victoria Derby to Wallace and Osculator just three days before her Melbourne Cup win[2] and two fourths. Her final race was the 1897 Fisher Plate when she finished last in the field of four.[1]
Auraria was bred to Pistol and produced several leading broodmares, including Princess Aura and Little Joan.[6][7]
