Irish National Stud welcomes club

A PERFECT day on Thursday dawned for the visit of members of the Leopardstown racing club to the Irish National Stud. On show were the stud’s top-class stallions, such as Invincible Spirit, Elusive Pimpernal, Free Eagle and retired favourites of the jumping scene, Beef Or Salmon, Hardy Eustace and Hurricane Fly. A delicious lunch and a chance to roam the stud’s unique Japanese Garden completed the trip.
