Nicholas Godfrey

International racing expert Nicholas Godfrey has been described (largely by himself, admittedly) as the sport’s answer to Bill Bryson. He has been racing in 50 different countries across six continents, details of which have been collected in two books: On The Racing Road (2007) and Postcards From The World Of Horse Racing (2017).

He spent 28 years and 51 weeks at the Racing Post in a number of different roles – front-line reporter, columnist, news editor, features writer, features editor, deputy editor and international editor. After leaving the Racing Post, he founded the Horse Racing Planet website before assuming his role as editor at Thoroughbred Racing Commentary in February 2022. Godfrey is a former winner of the Breeders’ Cup Joe Hirsch Award for Outstanding Writing.
