Alfred's mother's family emigrated to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and her brother, Alexander Watson, was also involved in Thoroughbred racing.

The winner of a number of important races at tracks across the United States, Robertson had seven mounts in the Kentucky Derby with his best finish a third in 1937.

He retired from competitive riding the following year and in 1971 his career was honored with induction in the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.
