EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1981 St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster, the magnificent racehorse Shergar is seen being paraded before the highly anticipated event. Mounted by jockey Walter Swinburn, Shergar exudes an aura of strength and grace as they prepare to compete in what would be their final ever race. Despite being a favorite among racing enthusiasts, fate had a different plan for Shergar that day. Surprisingly, they were defeated and finished in fourth place, marking an unexpected end to their illustrious career on the track. However, tragedy would strike later when Shergar was tragically kidnapped by members of the IRA. The horse's disappearance sent shockwaves through the racing world and beyond, leaving everyone with unanswered questions about his whereabouts. This poignant image captured by Andrew Cowie for Colorsport Images serves as a reminder of both triumph and heartbreak within the realm of horse racing. It encapsulates not only Shergar's undeniable talent but also highlights the dark chapter that followed his retirement from competitive sports. Decades have passed since that fateful day in September 1981 when Shergar vanished without a trace. Yet his legend lives on as one of horseracing's most enigmatic figures – forever etched into history alongside his remarkable achievements on the track.
