Julian David Bonhote Wilson (21 June 1940 – 20 April 2014) was BBC Television's horse racing correspondent from 1966 until his retirement in 1997.
[1] Between 1969 and 1992, he was one of the commentators for the Grand National and for a time he had editorial control over the BBC's midweek racing coverage.
In his autobiography Some You Win, published in 1998, he revealed a rift with Peter O'Sullevan, his long-time colleague at the BBC.
The final broadcast of his career would come a week later (27 December) as BBC 2 showed racing from Chepstow which included the Welsh Grand National.
The following year only he and Peter O'Sullevan would provide commentary, Wilson remarkably covering them over the first 12 fences up to the anchor bridge crossing on both circuits.
