With the Welsh Racing Festival fast approaching this weekend at Chepstow Racecourse (Friday/Saturday/Sunday), we will have a quick look at a few jockeys with “Welsh connections” who hopefully we will be seeing over the weekend.
Current NH Jockeys Champion, Sean Bowen (2 place in this year’s championship table), has 67 winners. Trainers: Olly Murphy - Mickey Bowen – Gordon Elliott - Martin Keighley – Charlie Longsdon - A J Martin - Jack Jones.
Sean is 23 winners behind Harry Skelton. One of the aims of this season for the Skelton’s is to try and overtake Martin Pipe’s record of the most wins in a season, that stands at 243 in season 1999-2000. Dan Skelton has 92 wins so far this season, a long way to go for both rider and trainer.
