Francis-Henri Graffard

Age: 48

Background:
Francis-Henri Graffard established his racing stable in Chantilly in 2011, having long held the ambition to be a trainer. A native of the Charolais region in France, Francis picked up a passion for horses through his grandfather, the noted National Hunt breeder, Dr Henri Champliau. From there he went on to work alongside some of the most influential leaders of the thoroughbred industry around the globe, starting at Arqana in France, then being selected for the Godolphin Flying Start programme, which took him across the globe, before joining Sheikh Mohammed’s Darley team, where he supported John Ferguson in Europe before spending three years as assistant trainer to the legendary Alain de Royer-Dupré. In 2025, he saddled champion Calandagan to a famous victory in the Japan Cup, becoming the first internationally-trained winner of the race since 2005.
