Graff Foals on Parade – Seeing is Believing

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Friday November 11

The team at Kitchwin Hills can’t hide their enthusiasm for the first foals by gun sprinter Graff, whose excellent fertility and ability to produce strong athletic types makes him an outstanding choice for a late season mating.

 

Graff might have 14 stunning  foals on parade in the paddock at Kitchwin Hills, but they are just as impressive at other farms with glowing reports on his stock from:

Yarraman Park, Edinglassie Stud , Lime Country Thoroughbreds, Edinburgh Park, Caithness Breeding, Raheen Stud, Holbrook Thoroughbreds, Cangon Stud, Newhaven Park, Fairview Park Stud, Parson's Creek, Aquis Farm, Langdale Park and Berkeley Stud.

Graff is a gorgeous individual.

A tough and consistent 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.

Priced at $13,200, Graff is an affordable speed sire with a diverse female pedigree and his first foals are doing the talking.
