Graham Goode is a well-known British horse racing speaker and commentator who has worked for both ITV and Channel 4. He has provided commentary for numerous high-profile horse racing events and also serves as a sports speaker for corporate after-dinner events. Graham began his broadcasting career at the age of 18 as a stand-in broadcaster for ITV, covering for sports broadcasters John Prnnry and Raleigh Gilbert. However, due to his audience appeal, charisma, and efficiency as a presenter and commentator, he quickly became ITV's number one horse racing speaker and pundit. He also worked for Channel 4 during this time, providing commentary for almost 100 prestigious horse races, including the Cheltenham Races. In addition to his work for ITV and Channel 4, Graham also worked as a presenter for BBC Sport, covering the Grand National. Since 2000, he has taken a step back from TV commentating, allowing Simon Holt to take the lead on Channel 4 broadcasts. However, Graham continues to work as a commentator for smaller races and has established a career as a specialist after-dinner speaker, appearing at private functions, horse shows, and charity races.
