Trainer Francis-Henri Graffard will begin training for His Highness The Aga Khan from the autumn onwards, The Aga Khan Studs announced on Wednesday. A Godolphin Flying Start graduate, he will be sent 10 of The Aga Khan's yearlings shortly. Graffard opened his yard at Chantilly in 2012, and has trained over 300 winners to date, including 2019 Group 1 winners Channel (Ire) (Nathaniel {Ire}) and Watch Me (Fr) (Olympic Glory {Ire}).
The Aga Khan's French-bred homebred yearlings will be distributed to French trainers Alain de Royer Dupré, Mikel Delzangles, Jean-Claude Rouget and now Graffard.
