Who’s the British horse trainer with £16m winnings and Olympic gold medallist dad looking hilarious as Willy Wonka?
A TOP British horse trainer with almost £16million winnings looks hilarious in this brilliant fancy dress.
But can you tell who it is?
Who’s the top racehorse trainer in the Willy Wonka fancy dress?
Well, here are some clues.
He’s yet to be crowned champion trainer but looks a shoo-in to seal the title in the next few years.
He’s based in Warwickshire, has been training since 2013 and looks after 154 runners at his yard.
His dad was an Olympic gold medallist, his brother is a jockey and he has six Cheltenham Festival winners to his name.
His wife and sister-in-law are a huge part of the team and always muck in around the stables.
Got it yet? It is of course…

Dan Skelton!
Skelton did his best Willy Wonka impression as part of the Racing Welfare Dragon Boat Race at Windsor racecourse recently.
The trainer and his team actually scooped the best dressed competition and it’s no surprise given the effort they all went to.
Lodge Hill handler Skelton will be hoping for another big season on the track this year.
The Sir Alex Ferguson-owned Protektorat was one of Skelton’s biggest winners last year, courtesy of his Betfair Chase win at Haydock in November.
While Le Milos landed an awesome £142,000 payday with his Coral Gold Cup triumph a week later.
Punter favourite Langer Dan claimed the £56,000 Coral Cup at Cheltenham Festival under Skelton’s jockey brother Harry.
While Harry’s wife Bridget then won the County Hurdle on Faivoir at odds of 33-1.
Big winners on the biggest occasions – more like wonga than Wonka.
