  • In part one Steve Mellish talks about making his living from punting for over 35 years. He explains how the 'Racehorses of 1975' changed his outlook and Commanche Run winning the 1984 St. Leger Stakes set him up for his career in betting.

    Just watched Commanche Run's Leger win, blimey, that's what you call holding on gamely. Steve must have been shitting himself during that final furlong!

    I actually got my grandad to put sixpence for me on Teamspirit earlier in the season when it got beat. I didn't back it in the grand national and could not understand how a horse could win the national after being beaten. I was eight at the time and used to watch the racing every Saturday with my grandad. Happy days.

    Open a dictionary and look up the term 'English Summer.'
    The definition will be: The time of year when Steve Mellish and Lydia Hislop present programmes from Sandown Park and the pair talk about 3YOs being coltish.'
