WILLIAM Delahunty saddled his first racecourse winner since October 2013 when Voice Of Reason won the Happy Halloween Handicap by three-quarters of a length under Seamie Heffernan, who brought up a double on the card.

Heffernan settled the 8/1 chance behind the leader Desert Friend and the pair made a beeline for the stands’ side in the straight and took over a couple of furlongs from home.
