Skelton celebrates 'incredible' trainers' title win

Dan Skelton has spoken of his delight to finally get over the line after it became mathematically impossible for him to be caught in the race to be this season’s champion trainer.

The Alcester-based handler has seen the title snatched from his grasp by Willie Mullins on the final day of the previous two campaigns, but Skelton has corrected the record in style this season, dominating from flag-fall and becoming the first trainer to break £4million in prize-money.
