At just 15 years old, Max Skillecorn turned hard work into success—saving up his pocket money from selling wool from his 104 Merino sheep to purchase a $3,500 Graff weanling at last year’s Great Southern Sale under the guidance of Suman Hedge.

Yesterday, his hard work was rewarded, with Lot 794 - Graff x Veronica selling to the final bid of J O’Connor for an outstanding $40,000.

Max summed it up perfectly: “This is what dreams are made of.”

Well done, Max! We can’t wait to see this Graff c**t hit the track 🏇
