Shergar the wonder horse: (born 1978. Sire: Great Nephew, Dam: Sharmeen) he was an acclaimed racehorse, and winner of the 1981 Epsom Derby by a record 10 lengths, the longest winning margin in the race’s 226-year history.

This victory earned him a spot in The Observer newspaper’s 100 Most Memorable Sporting Moments of the Twentieth Century.[1] A bay colt with a distinctive white blaze, Shergar was named European Horse of the Year in 1981 and was retired from racing that September.
