Champion stallion Stradivarius is the star of this year's tours of The National Stud in Newmarket. The legendary racehorse retired to stud in 2022 after a stellar career winning group races on multiple occasions, including the Goodwood Cup, which he won a record-breaking four times. He will be on view alongside the other resident stallions, as well as ex-racehorse favourites Lord Windermere and The Tin Man.

The 90-minute National Stud Tour, by coach and foot, is exclusively available to book from Discover Newmarket either online at www.discovernewmarket.co.uk or by phone on 01638 501122.
