Famous for his come-from-behind stretch drives, in 1950 Noor finished the season with a record of 7–4–1 from his 12 starts.
At the end of the 1950 racing season, the five-year-old horse was retired to stand at stud at Ridgewood Ranch but after the property was sold by the estate of Charles Howard, Noor was moved to son Lindsay Howard's Binglin Stable in Moorpark, California.
Noor was moved again at the age of 19 to Frank Knoop's Loma Rica Ranch in Grass Valley, California.
In March 2010, Noor's grave was located and an effort was mounted to ensure that his remains were not disturbed.
They were reinterred on 31 August 2011 at Old Friends Equine in Georgetown, KY. Charlotte Farmer, the woman who led the effort to bring Noor's remains from California to Kentucky, attended.
