Aga Khan Moves Horses from Rouget To Graffard

Just days after Jean-Claude Rouget and Jerome Reynier announced a training partnership, the Aga Khan announced he will move his remaining horses to Francis Graffard, reported racingpost.com. "The Aga Khan Studs have announced that their horses currently trained by Jean-Claude Rouget will be relocated to the Aiglemont training centre in Gouvieux under the supervision of Francis-Henri Graffard, with the aim of streamlining their operations," read a statement from the farm. "The team at Aga Khan Studs extend their heartfelt thanks to Jean-Claude Rouget for his dedication over the past 19 years, during which time he has won seven Group 1 races for H.H. the Aga Khan." Graffard succeeded Alain de Royer-Dupre as principal trainer to the Aga Khan in France at the end of 2021 and currently has 61 of the Aga Khan's horses on his book. This move will add a further 17 horses who are currently with Rouget.
