Dan Skelton made history at Perth on Saturday, becoming the first trainer ever to win at every jumps track in Britain during a single season. Heltenham's victory in the Bedmax Capercaillie Handicap Chase gave Skelton a winner at all 41 National Hunt circuits, completing a remarkable feat that had never been achieved before in the sport.

After being agonisingly thwarted by Willie Mullins in the last two years, Skelton has won nearly £5million in prize money this term and is poised to claim his first championship title. The achievement almost didn't happen—owner Jimmy Fyffe convinced him to send Made U Blush to Musselburgh, the final track needed. "It took 21 runners to get a winner at Plumpton," Skelton told Racing TV. "Luckily it's taken a few less at Perth but I'm in awe of my team."

Harry Skelton delivered a perfectly timed ride on the 15-8 favourite, getting up to win by one and three-quarter lengths. Elsewhere, Paul Nicholls' No Drama This End ended his hurdling career on a high ahead of a switch to fences in November, while Lucinda Russell's Apple Away secured victory in the Fair Maid Of Perth Mares' Chase to earn a shot at the French Champion Hurdle.

Olly Murphy completed a treble on the card, with Gee Force Flyer, Barlovento and Atlantic City all winning.
