LEGENDARY presenter Jeff Stelling celebrated a winner from "one of his greatest passions" at Fontwell. <\/p>\n

Stelling, who left Sky Sports at the end of last season after being at the helm of Soccer Saturday, is part of the aptly-named Beautiful People syndicate. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 68-year-old was at Fontwell to watch his horse Organdi, sent off 11-4 for the 3m2f handicap chase. <\/p>\n

Victory didn't look likely as he was scrubbing along miles from home and looked to be labouring. <\/p>\n

He eventually got rolling, however, and the short-price favourite Fairlawn Flyer was pulled up on the home turn when in front. <\/p>\n

Sam Twiston-Davies and Organdi took full advantage to score by an enormous 21 lengths for trainer Richard Phillips. <\/p>\n

Stelling was interviewed by Sky Sports Racing before the race and his enthusiasm was evident. <\/p>\n

It's no surprise, as Stelling presented horse racing for Sky from 1992, when he joined the broadcaster. <\/p>\n

He said: "Racing is one of my great passions, after football of course, but it's still up there. <\/p>\n

"Fontwell's a local course to me and it's fantastic, it's wonderful to see the place so busy." <\/p>\n
