OWNER PROFILE
Sir Ellice Victor Sassoon was born on 20th December 1881 in Naples into the wealthy Baghdadi Jewish Sassoon family who gained their wealth primarily from banking. He was educated at Harrow and went on to Trinity College, Cambridge before serving in the Royal Flying Corps in the First World War. His father died in 1924 and he inherited the title of Third Baronet of Bombay. His great passion was horse racing and in 1925 he bought Bungalow Stud in Newmarket and immediately renamed it Eve Stud (later to become the Woodditton Stud after his death). He enjoyed many English Classic successes, including four Epsom Derby wins, including Pinza (SR 2131) in 1953, Crepello (SR 2109) in 1957, Hard Ridden (SR 2028) in 1958, and St Paddy (SR 2047) in 1960. He was also successful in the Irish Derby, winning in 1935 with Museum (SR 1921) and in 1937 with Phideas (SR 1928). He died on 13th August 1961 aged 79. |
