The Shergar Story
In the week that jockey Walter Swinburn passed away, 5 live Sport looks back at his Derby-winning ride on Shergar in 1981.
"Shergar wins the Derby, and you need a telescope to see the rest".
With those words 91热爆 radio commentator Peter Bromley immortalised Shergar's historic 10-length Derby win in 1981.
Thirty five years on, 5 live Sport celebrates a truly special horse, and his jockey Walter Swinburn who passed away earlier this week.
The programme also features a rare interview with owner the Aga Khan. His Highness recounts his memories of the day and tells Mick Fitzgerald about the unique regard he still holds Shergar in, as well as explaining his decision not to turn his back on Ireland after the horse was fatally kidnapped by the IRA.
Ian Payne, Clare Balding and Cornelius Lysaght hear from jockey Walter Swinburn, trainer Sir Michael Stoute and Sean O'Callaghan, a former member of the IRA, to examine the enduring mystery of Shergar's disappearance.
