...fever. Heir to a Liverpool-based soccer betting operation, Sangster has used his winning touch at breeding to go from riches to phenomenal riches. In provident exile on the bucolic Isle of Man, a tax haven in the Irish Sea, he now runs a multimillion-dollar equine empire, Swettenham Stud, from a 100-room mansion called the Nunnery. Though a reticent man in public, he is hardly that at home. His two trophies from the French Arc de Triomphe wins are the centerpieces on twin dining-room tables. The walls of the bright, airy living room are covered with photos...
...horse must still win races to acquire value. But the big payoff is now in the breeding barn. In the '50s a horse who won $1 million in purses was worth $1 million as a stallion. Today a million-dollar winner is worth $20 million at stud. One outstanding example is Northern Dancer, whose offspring Sangster often buys. Almost gelded because of his questionable conformation and rank temperament, the 1964 Kentucky Derby winner is now the world's greatest living superstud: 85 of his progeny (one in five) are stakes winners.

...file my James Brown record under J?" Eddie (Steve Guttenberg) is ready to get married, with few qualms and one small condition: that his fiancee pass the world's toughest football quiz. Boogie (Mickey Rourke) will never be married: he has too much fun playing the sensitive stud and limping through life with one foot in the underworld. Fenwick (Kevin Bacon) is beyond marriage: proto-hip and self-destructive, he seems to be waiting for the '60s to explode around him. Billy (Timothy Daly) wants to get married-but his pregnant girlfriend is more intent on a career...
