Mullins Narrows Skelton's Championship Lead Ahead of Final Day

Dan Skelton extended his lead over Willie Mullins in the British trainers' championship with a series of wins across multiple racecourses, capitalizing on a day when Mullins had limited runners. Mullins, however, had previously narrowed the gap significantly with victories at Perth, collecting major prize money with horses like Kiss Will and Fun Fun Fun. Despite Skelton's efforts and a temporarily increased lead, bookmakers still favor Mullins to reclaim the title due to his larger number of entries on the final day at Sandown. Both trainers have acknowledged the intense competition, with Skelton remarking on the enjoyment and learning from the title race. As the season finale approaches, the outcome remains uncertain, but Mullins' strategic race placements and Skelton's determined campaign have defined the championship battle. The trainers’ title will be decided at Sandown, where Mullins is expected to field a stronger team.
