Sangster was born into the Vernon’s Pools business, and had the nous to get out of it (at a very good price) before the National Lottery slashed its value. Sangster was, however, mainly famed for his horse racing dealings, where he built up a worldwide breeding and racing empire. Among his many wins at the top level of the sport were two in the Derby and three Prix de l’Arc de Triomphes.
