Team Skelton secured a chirpy trip back down the M74 for the siblings and their staff
The Warwickshire trainer and jockey brother Harry made their 600-mile round trip count with three winners from five runners on the opening day of the track’s jumping season. Odds-on trio County Mile, Home Free and Dalston Lad all scored for Team Skelton to secure a chirpy trip back down the M74 for the siblings and their staff.
“Down south, we’ve just not had any rain and you have obviously had a good quantity up here. The ground is in great condition and we are taking advantage of that. I wish this place was closer because if, it was, I would come a lot more regularly. The Skeltons are bidding for UK trainer and jockey titles, but, at this stage, that’s not the reasoning for Scottish trips as Dan explained: “At the moment, it’s the ground. When you get into March and April, you probably do start looking at venues for championships. But, to be honest with you, we’ll let that mature into what that is going to mature into before we worry.”
