Sanford Yung Yung-tao (Chinese: 容永道; 3 October 1927 – 7 November 2013) was a Hong Kong accountant, politician and racehorse owner.
Yung was born in Hong Kong in 1927 with family roots in Zhongshan county, Guangdong, China.

According to the Democratic Party founding chairman Martin Lee, Yung was perceived as a liberal among the pro-Beijing camp.
[2] He once said that while he was "happy and proud" of Silver Lining's success, he often slept badly the night before a race, worrying that the horse would break down under the "super weights" it had to carry of up to 69 kg.
