National Stud
National Stud
The government-owned Irish National Stud, at Tully, Kildare, Co. Kildare, Ireland has in its possession the skeleton of Arkle. The skeleton is on display in the museum.

Arkle became a national legend in Ireland. His strength was jokingly claimed to come from drinking Guinness twice a day. At one point the slogan Arkle for President was written on a wall in Dublin. Often referred to simply as "Himself", the story goes that he received items of fan mail addressed to 'Himself, Ireland'. Former Nottinghamshire and England cricketer Derek Randall known for his exceptional pace while fielding was nicknamed 'Arkle'.
