Julian Bedford

Julian Bedford has worked as a journalist in racing and foreign affairs for over fifteen years, alternating stints at the Sporting Life in London with stretches for Reuters and the BBC World Service in central and East Africa. Despite the counter-attractions of coups, he has kept an ear on the racing world, placing bets on the world's big races from Somalia, Rwanda and Zaire, only to glean their demise through the vagaries of short-wave radio. He is author of the World of Horseracing.
