John Brough Scott (born 12 December 1942) is an English horse racing journalist, radio and television presenter, and former jockey. He is also the grandson[citation needed] and biographer[1] of the noted Great War soldier "Galloper Jack" Seely.

Scott was educated at Radley College and Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where he read History.[2] His riding career saw him ride over 100 winners including the Imperial Cup and The Mandarin Handicap Chase.[3] He joined ITV in 1971, and was regularly seen and heard on The ITV Seven and later Channel 4 Racing for thirty years.[4] He also briefly presented football coverage for Channel 5. He was racing correspondent for The Sunday Times (where he succeeded Roger Mortimer) and wrote for the Racing Post (which he co-founded with Sheikh Mohammed),[4] The Independent on Sunday and The Sunday Telegraph. He was appointed an MBE in the Queen's birthday honours list in 2009.[3]

In 2013, Scott published Henry Cecil: Trainer of Genius, a book about Henry Cecil. It won the 2014 British Sports Book Awards in the "Best Horse Racing Book" category.[5]

In 2017, forty-six years after he first broadcast on ITV, Scott returned to the channel when it resumed broadcasting horseracing after a long break.[4]
