Dan Skelton Savors 'Unbelievable' Achievement as Champion Trainer

Dan Skelton has expressed his joy and relief after being crowned this season's champion trainer, following years of narrowly missing out on the title. The Alcester-based trainer saw his lead become mathematically insurmountable, capping off an impressive season where he dominated from the start and broke the £4million prize-money barrier. Skelton's achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of his team, with his current total standing at £4,762,920 for the season, thanks in part to a successful Grand National Festival. He praised his staff, horses, and owners, saying, 'It's a great reflection on the whole team and their efforts this year. We're delighted with how everyone has performed.' With the title now secured, Skelton can look forward to receiving the trophy at Sandown Park on April 25, marking a triumphant end to the season.
