    No, it was a straight ransom job, but the two fuckwits that were supposed to look after him hadn't a clue how to deal with a thoroughbred racehorse, the poor animal was dead within a couple of hours of the theft.

    Shergar was not killed and was running point to point races in Ireland under the identity of another horse in 1987 and was stabled just outside of Swords in North County Dublin.The whole story is bs.

    Even if Shergar had fractured his leg, they should have let him out and drove off. He would have been found. I don't believe that story, though. They wanted to cover their tracks. Disgrace!

    80 thou a session a lot of money - esp. considering a stud can do his thing at least 100 times a year for 20 years, conservatively. What was he insured for and was the monetary difference that huge to take a chance at being incarcerated for many years? I doubt it, but it's possible. Alydar was killed in the states for insurance, but circumstances were completely different.
