P.s. Shergar was a racehorse. A good one at that. And famous.

He didn't win at the Derby, he won the Derby.

1981.

The year Aldaniti (a horse famous enough to have a flim made about his nd his Jockeys stories) won the Grand National.

Shergar is more famous though, for what happened next. You obviously know nothing about horse racing.
