James Evans has shown he has plenty of ability when training horses to win both on turf and over the jumps, and now the canny Midland's based trainer has a set of facilities at his disposal which would be the envy of many.

James has moved his 16 horses from Honeybourne, near Bidford, to a new home in Broadwas, close to Worcester.

The facilities include a mile long woodchip all-weather gallop as well as stabling for up to 30 horses in brand new stables. There is also 50 acres of turnout and grass for schooling and other sorts of exercise.

James said "We have had to limit our business at Honeybourne, due to the size of the yard and restrictions on expansion, but from our new base we can really make a big impression with more horses and far better facilities"

"I'm looking forward to getting racing very soon, as the horses have already settled into their new home and we have some new horses coming through this year which should give us the boost we need from the new situation." he added.

We wish James all the best for the new venture. Having visited the yard, it is superbly positioned and will serve James well. He has already sent out a few horses from the yard - and managed top four placings with both, so it shouldn't be too long before he gets his first winner from Broadwas.
