Ch'tibello wins the County Hurdle for the Skeltons

The Skelton brothers will always have a soft spot for the Randox Health County Handicap Hurdle.
 
Today trainer Dan won the race for the third time, while jockey Harry recorded his second success as Ch'tibello raced to victory, after gaining his first on Superb Story in 2016.
 
Twelve months ago Harry looked on as his now-fiance Bridget Andrews won the race on the same stable's Mohaayed, who was unplaced as top-weight in today's event. 
 
Ch'tibello beat We Have A Dream and Countister with Whiskey Sour in fourth. The distances were one and a half lengths, a head and four and a half lengths.
 
Amid irrepressible scenes of joy in the winner's enclosure, the tale of how the race had long been the plan for Ch'tibello was unfurled, and the Skeltons celebrated like winners of the Magners Cheltenham Gold Cup and Randox Health Grand National double.
 
Harry said: "I ride for a very good man and a very, very good trainer - he knew the plan and he has pulled it off to perfection. 
 
"As a jockey I'm in a privileged position and people would give their arms left and right for what I've got; I understand that, but our father grounded us, we are up early every day and work hard and that's what it's all about. There is so much enjoyment here and the horse is so tough.

Trainers Quotes

"Last season he had a beating by The New One [half a length in a G2 race at Haydock] and it took him some time to get over that. Since then it was how do we hatch a plan?
 
"He's got a touch of class and had won a G2 - he went round there today in second gear. When I got on him Dan said 'go out there and enjoy it', and when the race started I was almost in a position that was too handy. I like to ride him to come past horses and not get there too soon. It went well, but when you are on a good horse it just happens.
 
"My brother fills me with confidence - he said enjoy it and I did.
 
"This feels very different from our win with Roksana on Tuesday [when she won the OLBG Mares' Hurdle following the last-flight fall of Benie Des Dieux]. That was our first G1 success and it meant a hell of a lot, but it was so different. Maybe I wouldn't have won, but the flights are there to be jumped. It was a bit like a boxer who is ahead after seven rounds and is then knocked out. I was very pleased for Roksana's owner Mrs Faulks, but this feels different.
 
"We enjoyed Tuesday, but now we have more to celebrate. Tolley Dean, our head man, is at home - he rides this horse every day and is a massive part of this success."
