Racecourse, Olympic and Commonwealth commentator and presenter John Hunt talks about his early life getting into racing. He tells of giving up the life of a policeman after seeing an advertisement for a trainee as a racecourse commentator. He tells a few stories along the way including one where he was barred entry to his commentary box by a president's security team and another where he was determined to pay his respects despite the best-intended intervention by a jockey. Meet John Hunt.
