Most memorable piece i remember about Julian Wilson was when he interviewed the Ascot steward following the Royal Gait disqualification , i've got it on tape somewhere , classic stuff.
He was an extremely shrewd punter as well , i can immediately recall the top three customers based on strike rate for odds against bets , all three were unrestricted well known names and he was one of them. |
