The 49th hereditary imam or spiritual leader of the world's 15 million Ismaili Muslims, his name also became synonymous with success as a racehorse owner, with the thoroughbred Shergar among his most famous. Shergar won the Epsom Derby, the Irish Derby and the King George, before being kidnapped in February 1983 from Ireland's Ballymany stud farm.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 15ú lá de mí na Samhna, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1983 bhuaigh Sheila Rohan ó chontae Ciarraí bean an tí den bhliain agus bhuaigh sí 1,000 punt dá pearsantacht agus a scileanna cócaireachta. I 2004 thacaigh le Taoiseach Bertie Ahern do chearta daoine aeracha le cáin agus oidhreacht. I 1977 bhí tuirlingt éigeandála ag Aerfort na Sionainne ar Air India Boeing 747 le 189 paisinéir tar éis bagairt buama. Bhí an t-eitleán ag eitilt ó Nua-Eabhrac go Londain. Nuair a tháinig sé chuig Aerfort na Sionainne chuardaigh an fhoireann slándála an t-eitleán ach ní raibh aon bhuama ann. I 1983 bhí bleachtaire agus feirmeoir ceangailte le teip ar fhuascail ar capall darbh ainm Shergar. Rinne na nGardaí fhiosrú den ngadaíocht agus fuair siad 80,000 punt ó charr sa chontae. Sin U2 le Vertigo, an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2004. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht ceoil ón lá seo – I 2007 chuaigh Jay-Z chuig uimhir a haon lena albam 'American Gangster'. Ag an am bhí an méid céanna albam a chuaigh go dtí uimhir a haon ag Jay-Z agus Elvis Presley. Ag an am bhí The Beatles an banna cheoil leis an méid is mó albam a chuaigh go dtí uimhir a haon. I 1980 fuair Blondie a cúigiú singil a chuaigh chuig uimhir a haon agus a tríú singil an bhliain sin le 'The Tide Is High'. Scríobh John Holt an t-amhrán a raibh uimhir a haon I Meiriceá chomh maith. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla inniu, rugadh aisteoir Shailene Woodley I 1991 I gCalifornia agus rugadh amhránaí ó Nickelback Chad Kroeger I gCeanada I 1979, agus seo chuid de a hamhráin. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

Welcome back to Episode 184 of "Another Great Day," your go-to podcast for a mix of mirth, music, and mystery! This Thursday, Aaron and Chris dive into the world of peculiar sponsors (hello, ducks!), swap compliments, and challenge each other with backwards song lyrics from classics that span the decades. Prepare to sing along—maybe in reverse—as we revisit hits that have warmed hearts and charts alike. Then, we take a gallop through history to 1983, where the plot thickens with the astonishing theft of Shergar, the champion Irish racehorse. It's a tale of intrigue, immense value, and the mystery that still surrounds one of the most talked-about equine enigmas. And because no episode is complete without a bit of reflection, we ponder the most ridiculous animals to bring on a trip and draw wisdom from Proverbs 27:21, reminding us of the value of praise and humility. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/anothergreatday/message

Look, the IRA did some unforgivable things in response to some equally unforgivable things done by the Ulster Unionists and centuries of even worse things done by the fucking English. But when you kidnap a horse hailed as a national hero by the people of Ireland itself, you have officially gone too far. Today we hear the tale of Shergar, a horse who was real good at running fast, and of Bild Lilli, a doll originally made in 1950s Germany for a right-wing newspaper's gross dude readers. By 1964 she'd dyed her hair, crossed the pond, and started a job with a little joint called Mattel. All this plus we talk about how it's hot! It's hot.
Hey! Which is for horses but grass is cheaper. Speaking of horses that's exactly what we're talking about in this episode of Equine Rewind, I watched the Irish movie Shergar. A film that not only shows the connection between orphan Kevin and the horse with the most bitches Shergar, but also displays the true magic of horses. Intro is Old Town Road (Remix) by Lil Nas X and Outro is Bottle of Smoke by the Pogues. Further reading on Nepravilnoye Tolkovaniye, Des Ordures, and ç'est quoi ce bordel
A legendary colt became the pride of Ireland after dominating the 1981 Epsom Derby. Two years later, he was taken from his stable, ransomed for millions… and never seen again.

Shergar was an Irish-bred wonder horse. With exceptional ability, speed and stamina, the horse captivated a sport and international attention. The prospect of Shergar sharing his genetics and creating a new generation of competitive, world class horses was too good to miss for investors. However, the extraordinary value of Shergar attracted the unwanted attention of a band of Irishmen who were looking to raise funds for nefarious activities. Was the kidnapping successful? Did the ransom get paid? Where is Shergar today? Listen to The Wheel of Sport to find the answers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nick is joined by RTE and Racing TV broadcaster Jane Mangan to discuss the day's racing news, with the build up to the Derby very much at the forefront. Nick and Jane ask whether Aidan O'Brien simply has the two Epsom Classic sewn up, or whether the depth is such that we should look beyond the obvious. Nick talks to William Haggas, trainer of Mohaafeth, who he feels couldn't be in better shape for the race, while jockey James Doyle also drops in with positive vibes about his ride One Ruler. Later in this edition, commentator Graham Goode remembers calling Shergar home in his first Derby as ITV's senior caller in 1981, while JA McGrath provides his weekly postcard from Hong Kong.

Whilst the horse wasn't just owned by the Aga Khan, but in fact a syndicate of many shareholders, this episode focuses on one shareholder that had a lot to lose. Stan Cosgrove. The Vet. He was keen to get his insurance payout, but the only way to do so was to prove that Shergar was in fact dead. Coordinating with the kidnappers he organised to get a polaroid to prove the horse was still alive.
The police used many methods to locate Shergar and most interestingly they sought help from psychics, diviners and the mysterious Mobius group. They claimed to be able to locate Shergar and used parts of his saddle to sniff him out. A supergrass emerges claiming he knows the identity of the masked men. Is this the end? Not for Shergar's legacy, his sporting achievements are still adored and his name used widely today to symbolise something we may never see again.
Questions emerge about the validity of the calls outside Belfast and attention is drawn elsewhere where parallel secret negotiations seem to be happening with the mysterious leader and main owner of Shergar, the Aga Khan. But nothing can stop the rumour mill from churning and there are reports Shergar is in Libya with Gadaffi and also that he has been taken by the New Orleans mafia. It becomes impossible to separate fact from fiction.
A cold and stormy night in Ireland is made even more terrifying by the presence of armed and masked men. “We've come to take Shergar, we want £2,000,000” Kidnappings were not unusual in Ireland at this time, except most of the time it was humans that were taken... some never came back. Who would want a horse? A stallion that no longer raced?
A horse is kidnapped in the middle of the night. His name was Shergar. He's not just any horse, he's a prize-winning racehorse owned by an enigmatic spiritual leader, made famous for winning the 1981 Epsom Derby by 10 lengths. A celebrity, a symbol of hope for Ireland, but mostly a real money earner. He was retired and ready to produce more prize-winning offspring, when suddenly he was taken. Vanilla Ice has become fascinated with the story and sets the scene...
This is the story of the world's most high-profile kidnap...of a horse. Welcome to Epsom, the year is 1981 and Shergar, a prized stallion, has just won the 202nd Derby by ten lengths - the longest winning margin in the race's history. Owned by the Aga Khan, the millionaire community leader, the champion horse gained international prominence and was regarded as a national hero during a difficult period in Irish history. On a cold winter night in 1983, a group of armed men entered the Ballymany Stud in balaclavas and stole the stallion declaring: "We have come for Shergar. We want £2 million for him." The codeword for future negotiations was to be King Neptune. While the facts of this case have been widely reported, this series unpicks the theories about the disappearance. We'll revisit all the bizarre events that took place after the kidnap, from psychics to horse skulls to negotiations led by English journalists. We unpick the police case and the comedy character leading it, trilby-wearing superintendent James Murphy and meet the sport's journalist Derek “Tommo” Thompson who was flown to Belfast to negotiate the release. Using archives, news reports and new interviews, we go along on a ride that has some strange turns, oddball characters and juicy conspiracies. Almost 40 years on from his kidnap, we look back at a story that gripped the world to try and understand why the horse's legacy still lives on. Told by the Texan tones of Vanilla Ice, we'll reveal some of the strange theories that made this Irish story go global.
Megan needed to take a break from the Taylor Nolan tweet series (who did she NOT offend!?!?!?). So, this week Megan tells the story of the Kidnapping of Shergar.

Megan learned a lot about horseracing for this episode, so she shares what she learned. Come take a ride with us and check out the beautiful photos of Shegar on our social media.

This week, dear listeners, we urge you to think small, as we take a look at our favourite little details in games that don't need to be there, and yet are. The strange Easter eggs, the loving little inclusions, the proverbial mint popped on the digipillow of your entertainment. Matthew talks about Red Dead Redemption 2, obviously, the big mass entertainment-liker. Diversions this week include the fact that Nate imagines game characters are whatever size they appear on his screen, conspiracy theories about Avril Lavigne, and a five minute extended series of in-jokes that will sort the TRUFANS of EWS, the Shergar's Heart Squad, from the fake haters.

In February 1983, armed men entered Ballymany Farm in County Kildare and stormed the home of stud groom James Fitzgerald. Threatening the lives of his family, they forced Fitzgerald to take Ireland's most famous racehorse, Shergar, out of his stall and load him into a dilapidated trailer. Now, nearly 40 years later, even though it's suspected the kidnapping was orchestrated by the Irish Republican Army, the group has never claimed responsibility and no arrests have ever been made. The case, according to the Irish Garda, remains open.
When The Troubles began, fighting between the IRA and British soldiers from Northern Ireland was at an all-time high. Over the years, the IRA bombed political and economic targets...

For some they're mythical creatures that exist only in stories, for others they are other worldly beings that need to be respected at all costs, even if it means bending roads around them. It turns out that a lot of people have strong feelings about fairies and fairy forts. Dermot and Dave spoke to listener Valerie Kelly from Galway who has gone from studying archaeology to teaching the luge to working on some of the biggest sites in the country as an archaeologist. She revealed all about life as an archaeologist, gave her take on whether roads should be built around fairy forts and revealed how she once thought she'd found Shergar in Naas.

In 1981 Shergar was named European Horse of the Year for his victories on the track. On February 8th, 1983, eight armed men showed up at the stables where Shergar was kept as a stud and stole him for ransom. They never got a single pound and the horse was never found. Why?
Martha Kearney uncovers the secrets within the government files of 1983 - who said what in Cabinet, and what did the Prime Minister really think about the issues of the day? It was the year that Compact Discs and £1 coins were first sold in Britain. The country was introduced to the joys of wheel clamps and breakfast television, and Shergar - the most valuable racehorse in the world - was stolen, never to be seen again. It was an election year, and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was riding high on the Falklands victory of the year before. Peace campaigners were demonstrating outside Greenham Common as the American nuclear missiles arrived, and Britain entered talks with China over the future of Hong Kong. As the official Cabinet papers of 1983 are opened to the public for the first time, Martha Kearney discovers what the big stories were inside Government that year. With access to the Prime Minister's personal correspondence, minutes of top secret meetings and telephone calls, and confidential policy advice, Martha can now offer fresh insights into history. There are the secret messages between Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, the Prime Minister's highly colourful comments on points of view she disagreed with, and entertaining messages between staff at Number 10. Martha is joined by key insiders from the time to help her interpret the papers and give their own impressions of the revelations within them. Producer: Deborah Dudgeon A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
