ROBERT SANGSTER: First past the Post
The bloodstock business is a multi-billion dollar industry employing thousands of people around the globe. John Swinfield made a TV documentary about Robert Sangster who was an axial figure in the rarefied and risky bank-balance stakes.

Racing and breeding top-flight chargers is a money-spinning casino, with handsome rewards for the winners and big losses for the also-rans.
