Shergar horse of year
NZPA-Reuter London hergar, the Aga Khan's colt which won this year’s English Derby by a record 10 lengths, has been voted the 1981 Horse of the Year in a poll of British racing journalists. Shergar also won the Irish Sweeps Derby and the King George Vi and Queen Elizabeth Diamond. Stakes, as well as two early-season races. He lost only one\ race throughout the year, the St Leger, after the Aga Khan and the trainer* Michael Stoute, made, a surprise late decision to enter him.
