MIKE de Kock, Jessica Slack, Jehan Malherbe and Alec Laird paid a visit to the Irish National Stud in County Kildare, Ireland, on Thursday.

Here they are with the Oasis Dream horse, Gale Force Ten, who raced for the stable in Dubai and has retired to stud.

Gale Force Ten won a Gr2 and Gr3 race and was Gr1 placed for trainer Aiden O’Brien. He stands with the likes of Americain and Invincible Sprit at the farm. Steeped in history, the Irish National Stud has been around since the early 1900s and raised among many others, the legendary mare Sun Chariot, who won the Fillies Triple Crown for the Royal Family.
