I could have sworn that SHERGAR - Won that Haynes, Hanson & Clark Stakes
- most recently just run at Newbury 3:35
googled - 'Haynes, Hanson & Clark' - and it came up with the/their Wine Merchants website ...
Part of the intro on the site states ...
'Our sponsorship marks a feat that only six other current serving sponsors can lay claim to in British Racing. We are immensely proud of our long-standing commitment to this race and to British Horseracing'
Then a list of previous Winners
WHERE is SHERGAR on that List? - I thought ... The horse is MISSING.
What an astounding omission, methinks.
Then - I see that - Haynes, Hanson & Clark -
Started their sponsorship of the race the year AFTER Shergar Won the race .... when it was known as the - Kris Plate -
- and had been Won by subsequent Derby Winner Henbit - in the previous year to Shergar (the inaugural Kris Plate race)
Mystery solved.

Shahrastani finished really strongly in 1985, and would have won in another couple of strides. About 17 runners.
