Stallions & Power - The Scandals of the Irish National Stud
The Irish National Stud has always been much more than it was ever meant to be. And it has generated uproar at a rate far greater than it would have wished.
The Stud has been the public's window to one of Ireland's most treasured, lucrative and secretive industries. There have been splurges. And there have been purges.
Every spring season hundreds of breeders pin their hopes on the performance of its stallions. But loads of visitors pile into its car park all year round. Thousands of people drive past its farm every day. But few know what goes on inside the Irish National Stud.
Bullying and bad business mixers with power and privilege. The money has been staggering and the scandals shocking.
This book uncovers it all.
