Trainer Sandeep Mangalorkar, once flying high as a top trainer in western India with a full contingent of 60 thoroughbreds owned by big names like the late Khataus, Poonawallas, Dhunjibhoys, Vijay Mallya and the late Ranjit Bhat, now leads a relatively obscure life. He’s still doing what he loves most though — training horses; but there are only three horses in his yard — two of them he owns himself in partnership with friends.
