IAN WILLIAMS is forever hitting new heights in a progressive training career and another first was achieved at Royal Ascot last month when The Grand Visir provided him with a first success at the Royal meeting when carrying topweight to victory in the Ascot Handicap.
That horse found life a little bit harder over half a mile shorter at Newbury on Saturday but his stamina is likely to come into play in the 2m 5f handicap at Goodwood shortly and Williams in nudging along nicely with 31 winners on the board already and rapidly approaching the half million mark for the season.
The Portway trainer may be hard pressed to better his 66 winners and passing the £1 million in prize money barrier which he did for the first time last year but it certainly won’t be for the lack of trying from an astute and extremely hard working individual.
Ian kindly spoke to Tony Elves of attheraces.com about those he hopes can swell his total in the next few months.
