EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1981 St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster, we witness a moment of anticipation and excitement in the world of horse racing. The image features Prince Shah Karim Al Husseini, better known as Aga Khan IV, who was the proud owner of the legendary racehorse Shergar. Standing confidently in the parade ring before the race, Prince Aga Khan IV exudes an air of regality and determination. However, fate had other plans for Shergar on that fateful day. Despite being a favorite to win, Shergar suffered a surprising defeat and finished in fourth place - an unexpected outcome for such a renowned champion. Little did anyone know that this would be Shergar's final ever race. Tragically, after his retirement from racing, Shergar fell victim to one of history's most infamous crimes. He was kidnapped by members of the IRA (Irish Republican Army) and vanished without a trace. Despite extensive investigations and international attention surrounding his disappearance, Shergar was never found. This poignant photograph serves as a reminder not only of Prince Aga Khan IV's connection with this remarkable horse but also highlights both triumphs and tragedies within the realm of sportsmanship. It captures an unforgettable moment frozen in time - one that continues to intrigue enthusiasts around the world decades later.
