200? 250? Even more? Not heard anyone even ask the question. Such overwhelming dominance isn't good for punters, and I don't think it is great for sport, even though the cheerleaders will try and pretend otherwise. With owners putting all their eggs in one basket, he can now virtually do what he likes. Lots more 'educational' runs, who cares? Oh for a throwback to the days when the top trainers had strings of 50, and could regularly find top grade horses. It seems that Skelton needs 4/5 times that number to try and unearth a handful.

Trained as an assistant under 14-time champion Paul Nicholls for nine years before launching his own training yard in 2013.
Data below (thanks to horseracebase.com) relates to UK & Irish, Flat & Jumps. Just the one winner in Ireland, Value At Risk at Fairyhouse on 28 March 2016 from just a handful of runners, 13 in total.

Thanks, the only surprise to me is that he has seemingly been at this level for quite a while. Staggering to think he is now pushing 300. Is there no limit?
Not sure what the 'bets' column is? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

On reflection, I think I should have used a more informative column header, differentdrum.
The 'Bets' column is the number of races that the horses of that year ran in. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Just got a couple more from Nicky Richards stable who hadn't appeared to do a lot wrong with them.
