00:00Shergar was valued at 10 million pounds.
00:03There's no security at the start.
00:05You and I could have just walked in.
00:06Someone comes up with the idea that they're going to kidnap a racehorse.
00:09A gang of subversives burst on the scene
00:12and immediately start roaring and shouting,
00:15we're here for Shergar.
00:17Please pick up the hotel phone.
00:18We're watching you from across the street.
00:20You have to question whether those who were running the IRA
00:24really thought this was a good idea.
00:26That was the code word, and I'd never told anybody about it,
00:29but that was the guy.
00:30I wouldn't be surprised if they underestimated what they took on.
00:33To pay a ransom would have set a very, very dangerous precinct.
00:36I thought they were just going to spray the car with bullets.
00:40There's only one way of describing it.
00:41A shit show.
00:43Shergar, the racehorse and the IRA.
00:45Wednesday at 9 on Virgin Media Play and Virgin Media 1.
