No.
From Ian Williams website: Initially, Ian was not drawn to follow his father, Billy, into training, but, a year at college studying Business & Accountancy persuaded him that horses weren’t too bad after all.  |

I was at Thirsk (1998/1999??) when Cruise Tothelimit won and I can assure you that it was announced over the tannoy that Ian Williams had now trained a winner at every racecourse in the UK.

Sorry Mac.
Ok, there are at least two. |
|
By:
Has to be a jumps trainer who dabbles on the flat, Nicky Henderson or John Jenkins.

By:
Initially, I thought Paddy had the right answer

Alan King?

No worries but I know Ian Williams done it this year.
The other one I would think would have to be one of the Easterby`s perhaps  |

From the Sporting Life:
Trainer Ian Williams was celebrating a full set of wins at British racecourses as Cruise Tothelimit landed the Barkers of Northallerton Handicap at Thirsk. Midlands-based Williams admitted the achievement was something of a "personal holy grail" after the six-year-old triumphed in the hands of 5lb claimer George Downing. He said: "Since Alarico won at Lingfield on January 28, 1997, I have managed to secure at least one winner at all the currently operational racecourses in England, Wales and Scotland, and also managed to saddle winners at the now-defunct Folkestone and Hereford. "This has been, until today, with one exception, Thirsk. The small town in North Yorkshire with a population of less than 5,000, is the one racecourse that had failed to provide me a winner and it's not as if I've not tried! "Since Prairie Law ran down the field in September 2004, I have sent many runners on the long road to Thirsk without success. But today, the wonderfully consistent Cruise Tothelimit completed the full set - a winner at every UK racecourse!" |
