Superb Story

The 8/1 shot had a long run for home as the field were marshalled around the final flight, which was dolled off following a fall on the first circuit, but he stuck to his task well, staying on strongly up the hill to deny runner-up Fethard Player by two and a half lengths.

It was a real family affair as Skelton's brother, Harry, rode the horse to victory and the trainer's smile was beaming shortly after the race.

"It's magic - it's just amazing," said Skelton.

"My horses have been running well all week and we just hoped and prayed that this can happen. We've had a great year but that's everything and, with Harry being on him, it makes it even more special.

"Without sounding obvious, it was going to happen one day but you hope it will be sooner rather than later.

"To be involved with any winner at any level is great - we're all in this sport to be winners - but this is extra special. Ok, it's not a Grade One but it's magic.

"I've not been doing this that long and I had a lot of experience and success working for Paul (Nicholls, to whom Skelton was assistant trainer in the Kauto Star and Denman era) but to do it for myself is amazing.

"We've got a great team, some lovely owners, some decent horses and Harry is riding brilliantly. I hoped Harry was going to be on my first Festival winner obviously!

"This is the greatest day. I'm in my third year of training and this is our global championships. I know it's only a handicap winner and he will be eclipsed by the Gold Cup winner and probably Victoria Pendleton but I couldn't give a monkeys!"

Skelton's father, Nick, an Olympic gold medallist who won a showjumping team gold at the 2012 London Olympics, was also quick to praise his sons after the race.

"I'm speechless," said Skelton senior.

"Both boys work really hard. Harry's been saying for two weeks that this horse was going to win - he had complete confidence in him. Hopefully these two are going to keep me in my old age!

"Harry has given him a lovely ride. I don't know if he knew they were going to bypass the final fence but he obviously knew what he had left in the tank - I thought he might have gone too early.

"To get a winner is brilliant. This is like the Olympic games for National Hunt racing and to get a winner so early on in their career is terrific."

PLAYER SHOWS HIS GAME AFTER LONG LAY-OFF

The Billy Treacy-trained and owned Fethard Player finished second at 33/1 to Superb Story by two and half lengths. It was the nine-year-old's first run since October 31.

Treacy wasn't present, but his daughter Mia said: "We're delighted. He's been off since October - he doesn't like winter ground, and ideally we'd have got a run into him before now, but he's so honest, he'd kill himself on winter ground.

"He's been a brilliant investment. My brother Kieran and I bought him for 3,000 euros at the Goffs Sale in 2011. He's very small, only about 15.3hh, but he has a big heart.

"You'd wonder whether he's now gone from handicap company into graded races, but he might be a little bit below that in ability. But perhaps the better handicaps where he wouldn't have top weight."

Fethard Player was ridden by David Mullins, who said: "He's a great little horse to ride. He was in the box seat everywhere, he winged the hurdles. He's due a big one some day."

A further three and a half lengths back in third was the Philip Hobbs-trained Sternrubin, ridden by Tom O'Brien.

O'Brien said: "He's a tough horse, game, stays all day and jumps well. I had a good run around."
