BOB SKELTON
New Zealand racing has lost not only a great jockey and trainer, but also an identity.
For years Bob Skelton and his brothers were an iconic family of the industry.
The Skeltons made a remarkable contribution to racing in both this country and Australia.
Bob always said he was fortunate to have such a career. Many New Zealanders were fortunate to witness the glory days at the track when he rode a winner.
New Zealand First sends our condolences to Bob’s family.
