Herefordshire trainer Venetia Williams
A HORSE trained by Herefordshire's Venetia Williams died following a heavy fall at the Cheltenham Festival yesterday.
Niceonefrankie, a 10-year-old that won the December Gold Cup at the track two years ago, fell late on in the Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate.
He was the fifth horse to have died at the Festival this week.
His sad passing follows that of The Govaness, ridden by county jockey Richard Johnson, Rezorby, Pont Alexandre and No More Heroes.
