ollie sangster
Location: Manton, Wiltshire. Ollie Sangster set up as trainer in 2023 having gained valuable experience with an array of master trainers, including Wesley Ward in the US, Joseph O’Brien in Ireland, David Hayes in Australia and Charlie Hills in Lambourn.
He is based on the picturesque Manton Estate near Marlborough, which is one of the finest private training establishments in the world. The Sangster family have had a long and successful history at Manton since its acquisition by Robert Sangster in 1984.
Ollie had a fantastic start to his training career with his stable star Shuwari winnning the Star Stakes (Listed) at Sandown and placing second in the Fillies’ Mile (Gr 1) in just his first season. In 2024,just his second season, Ollie more than doubled his winning tally taking his prize-money earnings to £500,000. Simmering flew the flag for his yard winning the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot, the Group 2 Prix du Calvados in Deauville before finishing second at the Curragh in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes.
Ollie is a young trainer already making his mark at the highest level and we are delighted to be a part of the rapidly progressive operation at Manton.
