Golden Foals for Graff

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 26

He didn’t win the Golden Rose, but he did finish a close third to The Autumn Sun and Zousain and Graff has some stunning foals being born this season which are delighting their owners.

Graff was keeping good company in the 2018 Golden Rose finishing third to The Autumn Sun and Zousain.

A tough and talented sprinter that was competitive in the Group I VRC Newmarket and Lightning Stakes, Graff retired to Kitchwin Hills as a Group II winner of $1.3million and his supporters will be hoping he can emulate the success of that other Star Witness sprinter now at stud Star Turn.

Star Turn also retired without the G1 win next to his name, but has achieved immediate success with a growing list of winners and stakes-winners headed by his Group I winner Startantes.
