Skelton Overjoyed by 'Unbelievable' Trainers' Championship Win

Dan Skelton expressed his thrill and relief at finally securing the trainers' championship title, having come close in previous years. This season, Skelton's team has been unstoppable, surpassing the £4million mark in prize money and making him the first trainer to achieve this feat. Skelton said, 'It's fantastic, really - we've put in a lot of effort over the past few years to get near it, but Willie Mullins has edged us out at the last minute. It's wonderful to have finally achieved it.' He praised his team, owners, and horses, saying, 'The horses have been outstanding and consistent, and I must thank the staff and, above all, the owners who have supported me and helped us reach this position.' With Mullins conceding defeat, Skelton can now savor his victory ahead of receiving the trophy at Sandown Park on April 25.
