On the twentieth anniversary of Shergar's Derby win, a bronze statuette of the horse was presented to the winning jockey.[55] A statue of Shergar stands in the grounds of Gilltown Stud, one of the Aga Khan's Irish stud farms.[142]

The story of Shergar's theft was made into a television play with Stephen Rea and Gary Waldhorn, broadcast in March 1986 as part of the BBC's Screen Two anthology series. The play was based on the few facts known, plus a backstory described as plausible by Hugh Hebert, reviewing for The Guardian.[143] The theft was also dramatised as the film Shergar, directed by Dennis Lewiston and starring Ian Holm and Mickey Rourke.[144] There have been two television documentaries, Who Kidnapped Shergar?, broadcast on RTÉ in March 2004,[145] and Searching for Shergar, broadcast on BBC One in June 2018.[146]
