A racehorse valued at around $50 million in today’s money was kidnapped from a stud farm in Ireland by masked gunmen and has never been seen again, in a 40-year mystery that continues to haunt horse racing.
The extraordinary disappearance is being examined as one of the sport’s great unsolved mysteries. The horse was taken from the Irish breeding establishment, but its fate remains unknown.
The case has shocked the racing world for decades, combining the value of a prized thoroughbred with the audacity of an armed abduction. No explanation for what happened to the animal has been established.
The mystery will be revisited in a forthcoming 60 Minutes report.
