Red-letter day for Harry and Dan Skelton as the brothers dominate the Uttoxeter card on Saturday
Harry rode five winners at the Midlands track while Dan trained four winners
IT was Skel on earth for the bookies at Uttoxeter on Saturday.
Brothers Harry and Dan Skelton reigned supreme with a glut of winners at the Midlands track.
Jockey Harry, who is currently second behind Richard Johnson in the jockey's standings, rode five winners from five rides.
Four of those victories came on runners trained by his brother Dan, who has already passed the 100 winner mark for the season.
The unstoppable pair teamed up with the promising novice hurdler Beakstown (5-4f) to win the second race on the card.
Harry then guided Caroline Bailey's Crosspark (11-4f) to victory in the following contest.

The brothers then combined to win the next three contests, with Tokay Dokey (4-7f) defying a penalty with ease.
Molly The Dolly (5-2f) landed the odds in good style before Premier Rose (5-1) bolted up in the mares' handicap hurdle.
A £1 accumulator on each of Skelton's five rides would have returned a whopping £278.
The over the moon jockey said: "It's brilliant. It's my first five-timer and obviously it takes a lot of doing, so it's something special.

"It's down to a lot of hard work and team work. Sometimes you have your ups, and sometimes your downs.
"We had the pain of losing a nice horse, Shantou Rock, two Saturdays ago and then you can have five winners the next weekend. Hopefully there were some nice horses there.
"The staff at home work hard and I'm very thankful to all of them."
The brothers will be hoping to continue their red-hot run of form with Nube Negra (9-1) in the Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham on Sunday.
