He also joined Mick Fitzgerald, Clare Balding and Rishi Persad in moving from the BBC to Channel 4.
While working for Channel 4's Grand National coverage, he was stationed out in the country picking up the commentary from the fifth fence to the tenth, before handing back over to Simon Holt.
During this stint, he runs the viewers over the action over most of the signature fences in the race, including Becher's Brook and the Canal Turn.
Also known by his racing peers as Barty, he is known for his love of Veuve and claims that his Mastermind specialist subject would be the road network of the United Kingdom as he drives in excess of 40,000 miles per year.
Bartlett also counts comedy duo Hale & Pace amongst his closest friends after working with them on the television show Jobs for the Boys.
