Ian Williams has vast experience in France working with master trainer, Francois Doumen, and has used his expertise to land major prizes across the Channel, including Grade One success for Batman Senora at Auteuil and the runner-up in the French Gold Cup.

Earlier in the month, Ian landed another successful raid in France, taking valuable prizemoney with the 9yr old Cashpoint.

Cashpoint took a claimer at Deauville under Maxime Guyon, collecting just shy of £8,000 in prizemoney, and despite his lofty rating (90), he started at 15/2!!

Joint-Owner Steve Mackintosh said after Cashpoint’s win at Deauville – ‘A truly wonderful experience! That was one of the best days racing I have ever had. Ian spotted a great opportunity for my nine year old Cashpoint and the whole experience was brilliant. Ian did a fantastic job and I would recommend him as the best trainer to get the best out of any horse
