With the Cheltenham Festival only six weeks away, the Racing Post camera crew went to visit the Irish National Stud where some of the heroes of previous meetings now reside as living legends.

Dual Champion Hurdle heroes Hurricane Fly and Hardy Eustace, as well as Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Kicking King, are among those who tourists can visit at the County Kildare operation from spring onwards.

They are joined as living legends by popular chaser Beef Or Salmon and Royal Ascot victor Rite Of Passage.

Leona Harmon, who manages the quintet, tells us about their characters and how she looks after the ageing superstars.
