A photograph of the saddle cloth pre-framing is provided in the catalogue entry; sold with three official racecards for the 1981 Derby (4) Provenance:Sold at an after dinner charity auction organised by the Racehorse Owners’ Association and held at the Dorchester Hotel, London, in 1981. Then offered at Graham Budd Auctions 20th November 2007 as lot 208. Bought by the present vendor. Considered one of the greatest-ever Derby winners, HH The Aga Khan's Shergar won this the 202nd running by a record distance of ten lengths, ridden by 19-year-old Walter Swinburn and trained by Michael Stoute. Retired for stallion duties, Shergar became front page news in February 1983 when an IRA-linked armed gang kidnapped him from the Aga Khan's Irish stud. It later transpired that tragically, the horse injured himself and was shot four days after the theft. His body has never been found.
