Grand National-winning trainer to stand trial after ‘bust-up at stables’
Horse racing trainer Evan Williams is set to stand trial after being accused of attacking a man at his stables. The 54-year-old guided The Secret Reprieve to Welsh Grand National success in 2020 and had horses placed at five consecutive Grand Nationals between 2009 and 2013.
Williams has had over 1,200 career winners and has pocketed more than £3million in prize money over the last five years. His training facility, Evan Williams Racing, is based in the Vale of Glamorgan and includes a 4.5 furlong all weather gallop, a circular sand gallop and a carpet schooling strip. His most recent win came at Taunton a fortnight ago as Luna Run took the honours.
