The 2025 season has offered three reminders of what Williams can do on the biggest stages. She landed top-level wins at Ascot in February, Wetherby in November, and Huntingdon in December — three different tracks, spread across the calendar, which speaks to a yard with genuine depth rather than one that peaks for a single festival and disappears. Those 33 top-level wins in total are a serious body of work.
The most reliable partnership in the yard is with jockey Charlie Deutsch, who has ridden 152 times for Williams and turned 12 of those into winners — roughly 1 in every 13 rides. That is a working relationship built on repetition and trust, the kind that tends to show up on the days that matter. Then there is Falco Des Pins, who has won 2 of 10 races alongside Williams — not a dominant record in raw numbers, but a horse the yard clearly keeps returning to for good reason.
The one area worth watching is the overall win rate this season. Williams is currently converting 16 winners from 223 runners — roughly 1 in every 14, or 7% — compared to 14% at the same stage last year. That drop is noticeable, and anyone paying close attention will want to see whether it is a temporary dip or something the yard needs to work through. For context, the big-occasion wins have kept coming regardless, which suggests the quality is still there even if the volume is down. In racing, a trainer who wins 1 in 14 but keeps finding the winners' enclosure at Ascot and Cheltenham is not a trainer in trouble — they are a trainer having a complicated season. There is a difference.
