Peter O’Sullevan, who has died aged 97, raised the quality of commentating on horse races to a new and unparalleled level of excellence. He worked for the BBC from his first commentary in January 1948 until his retirement, at the age of 79, in November 1997, and became known as the “voice of racing”. For much of this period he was also employed as racing correspondent for the Daily Express. Working in tandem with Clive Graham, he made the Express racing page obligatory reading for all turf enthusiasts.
