Silver Streak: Fans pay tribute to Evan Williams' popular hurdler after fatal injury

Silver Streak, the son of Dark Angel, has died after a fatal injury. He was a Grade 1 winner and one of the most popular National Hunt horses in training. Evan Williams said it was sad news. He won over £450,000 in prize money from 36 racecourse appearances. Saturday's Betfair Exchange Hurdle at Ascot was possible target for him. The horse was due to defend his Christmas HURDLE crown at Kempton's King George meeting.
