65: The Disappearance of Shergar: The World’s Most Famous Racehorse

It was a dark evening in February, 1983, when three armed, masked men arrived to the home of Jim Fitzgerald.
His family were locked in a room. One of the men said to him "We have come for Shergar. We want £2 million for him." He was taken at gunpoint to a nearby stable where Shergar the horse was sleeping.
The horse was loaded into a horsebox, and never seen again. What followed was a mystery which captivated the people of Ireland, and many around the world in the hunt to locate Shergar the world’s most famous racehorse.
