Walter Swinburn: Legendary jockey and Shergar Derby winner dead at 55

Swinburn won the Epsom Derby, Britain's richest horse race, three times over the course of his career, including on the legendary Shergar as a 19-year-old in 1981.

He also recorded wins at the Epsom and Irish Oaks, 2,000 Guineas, 1,000 Guineas and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

Swinburn's other Derby wins came on Shahrastani in 1986 and Lammtarra in 1995 while international success was marked up at the likes of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in France, the EP Taylor Stakes in Canada and the Breeders Cup Turf in the US.
