Graff to Stand at Eureka Stud

In a welcome addition to the Queensland breeding ranks, Graff (AUS) will relocate to Eureka Stud for the 2026 breeding season. The sire of boom 3-year-old sprinter Grafterburners (AUS), already a six-time winner and earner of more than AU$2.1 million, Graff has made an exciting start to stud from limited numbers, with his progeny also including 2-year-old stakes performer Royal Chic. Graff was unbeaten in two starts as a juvenile before returning at 3 to win the San Domenico Stakes (G3) and place in the Run To The Rose (G2) and Golden Rose Stakes (G1), the latter behind The Autumn Sun (AUS). He then lined up in The Everest (G1), finishing fifth to Redzel, before running fourth, beaten less than a length, in the Lightning Stakes (G1) behind In Her Time, and fourth again in the Newmarket Handicap (G1), beaten a length by Sunlight. After competing consistently in elite sprinting company, Graff took out the Caulfield Sprint (G2) before retiring to stud as the winner of four races and more than AU$1.35 million in prize money. With his first crops now showing the same precocity and toughness he displayed on the track, Graff presents as a proven sire option with genuine upside for breeders. "We are delighted to have secured an interest in Graff to stand him in partnership with Australian Bloodstock," Eureka Stud's Angus McAlpine said. "They are firm believers in the immense ability and toughness he had as a racehorse and are bullish to support him after seeing these qualities passed on to his progeny." Standing for a fee of AU$9,900 inc. GST, payable on live foal, Graff brings a proven and affordable QTIS sire option to Queensland breeders.
