Talk:Shergar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"He was the fourth famous race horse in history to be stolen. The others were Corrida who disappeared in France without a trace in 1944, and eventually recovered alive was Carnauba in Italy in 1975 and Fanfreluche in 1977 in the United States." That's eh... three horses, not four? -- Pauric (talk-contributions) 17:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Er... yeah, that's eh...the first THREE making Shergar the FOURTH Devious Viper 21:06, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Looking over again, I see that I missed Carnauba when I was reading the first time. -- Pauric (talk-contributions) 21:20, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Earnings

I see Shergar earned his owners nearly $700,000. As this was 25 years ago, is there any merit in perhaps also giving the equivalent figure in 'today's money?'

[edit] Insight?

The article reads:

His remains have never been found despite the help of star witnesses such as English show jumping horse "Basil" who gave key insights into the mind of Shergar and his kidnappers.

A horse gave key insights into the mind of Shergar and his kidnappers? Either this is a sneaky bit of vandalism, I am misinterpreting the sentence, or it is a mistake. Anyone care to guess and possibly correct it to what it is meant to say? Because I have no idea... Cheers, Rothery 05:30, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
