the jockey in this clip is 100% frankie dettori wearing sheik mohammeds silks not walter swinburn who was the aga khans uk retained jockey green with red epilettes shergar was the best horse i ever saw at chester races before winning the derby such a sad end to such amazing horse
Shergar was the greatest horse to ever live, no horse in history would be capable of going for home with 4 furlongs to go in the Derby and going miles clear to then be able to ease to an exercise canter for the final furlong and still win by TEN lenghs, Shergar won the Derby, Irish Deby and King George all in the space of about 7 weeks by a combined distance of 22 lenghs slowing to an exercise canter in the final furlong of each race, there is no horse in history who could have beat him
@dessiesdoneit Triple Crown ? So what Shergar won many big races, the Triple crown in the states is easier anyways, as its only between a 1m and 1m4, were as over here its 1m to 1m6.5 which makes it far more difficult. Nijinsky was the last Colt to pull it off in this country though. Though Oh So Sharp won the fillies equivalent in the 80s. Very few horses take it serious over here its not like the American one, STS had the chance to go for it, but his connections couldnt be bothered with it
@dessiesdoneit Shergar lost in the Leger, which shows how little you know about horse racing from that era, he couldnt of gone for the Triple crown anyways as he never ran in the Guineas which is the first leg.
To call Shergar a plodder says all i need to know about you, total idiot
@dessiesdoneit you said they couldnt be bothered finding out if he stayed or not, you dumbass, well they did try to find out if he stayed, when they ran in the Leger. Like i said you clearly know nothing about racing from that era, so do one
@dessiesdoneit were did you say Sea The Stars. what do you think im a Phsychic, this is a video of Shergar so if you dont say a horses name then il assume your talking about him doh
Just a small correction - The jockey was Walter Swinburn and not Frankie Dettori. Walter Swinburn was 20 at the time even though he looked much younger.
and u clearly hear the commentator say "and shergar is well clear for walter swinburn" and enybody who didnt know that anyway shouldn't be commenting on racing
whats the score with the shitey music??? ruins the only footage of the full race. get it sorted the commentary was classic and has been dulled out fur sum shite music
I live in Ballymany stud, that's where he was kidnapped from, I even went into the stable he was kidnapped from.

@MANUTD4LIFE171 They couldn't be bothered going down in history as the first horse since Nijinksy in 1970 to win the almost impossible triple crown?
I think they couldnt be bothered finding out if he stayed or not. Shergar couldnt even stay and he was a plodder. 1m4 only, beat nobody.
