Errol Skelton

Errol ( EB) Skelton passed away over the weekend . Errol was a  member of the famous " Skelton " family . A true legend and a huge character , a well loved member of the NZ racing fraternity who's reputation as a horseman was second to none . Won most of NZ's premier races as well as his fair share in Australia over many decades . Almost as well renowned as teller of great tales and racing folklore , no chat with EB was a short one and certainly never boring , so much knowledge helped me many times . To Lois and family my sincere condolances . The sun shines a little dimmer today .

Well said Nomates. Spent a bit of time with Errol on his visits to Riccarton in the last few years and really enjoyed his company. Great trainer and he possessed those attributes which everyone who knew the Skelton family, admired. Was sad to hear the news and condolences to Lois, Susan and other family
