Quote: from Lingfield on 6:26 pm on Feb. 5, 2007[br]Regrettably I missed it.<br>Was it realistic? Any race fixing, corruption, sex or vacuous TV racing presenters? <br>
will Thommo get to reprise his role in Shergar-style negotiations ?
Involved at the request of the horse-nappers, as I recall, he flew to Ireland and the following day received a call at 1am from someone claiming to speak for the abductors.
He did his best to keep the chap talking, thinking this would aid tracing of the call.
Sadly it wasn’t to be –  the Irish police later explained that "the man who does the tracing goes off duty at midnight".
