Coaraze continued to race successfully as an older horse, winning the Prix d'Ispahan in 1946 and 1947 and the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud in 1946. He was second in the 1947 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, the 1946 and 1947 Great Yorkshire Stakes, and 1947 Coronation Cup.[5][6]
The year after he entered stud, Coaraze was advertised as being for sale in the Société d'Encouragement[7] because he had sired too many twins in his first crop.[4]
The idea of purchasing Coaraze for Brazilian breeding interests first came about in May 1954, on the suggestion of a representative of Boussac who was visiting the Jockey Club of São Paulo. Comparisons were made to a list of stallions available for sale in France at the time, and it was determined that Coaraze was the best on offer.[4]
José Homem de Mello, President of the Commission of the Jockey Club of São Paulo, made contact with the Société with regards to purchasing Coaraze. The price was high, but affordable.[7] A Brazilian representative and a French veterinarian inspected Coaraze, finding him to be sound and healthy. Coaraze was officially purchased by the Jockey Club of São Paulo for Cr$1,350,000[4] to stand stud at the Jockey Club of São Paulo's Posto de Monta, the first time the Jockey Club imported a stallion.[8]
Coaraze was exported to Brazil in 1954.[1] He began covering mares in 1955, and his first Brazilian crop was foaled in 1956.[9]
Coaraze stood for a stud fee of Cr$50,000 for the 1960/61 season.[10]
Coaraze was the leading sire in São Paulo in 1962[11] and second in 1971,[12] and led the São Paulo broodmare sire list in 1971,[12] 1972,[13] 1973,[14] 1974,[15] 1977,[16] 1978,[17] and was third in 1979[18] and 1981.[19]
Coaraze died in 1970 at the age of 28,[2] with his final crop being born that same year.[8]
