RACING could not have found a better ambassador for the sport than Letterkenny’s Dylan Browne McMonagle who was crowned champion flat jockey at The Curragh on Sunday having flown in from his breathtaking victory on the Willie Mullins-trained Ethical Diamond in the Breeders’ Cup Turf at Del Mar the previous day, so we just have to congratulate the 22-year-old on both initial successes which we are sure he will build on in the future.

A big crowd travelled down from Co Donegal to The Curragh for Sunday’s presentation including Dylan’s father John, mother Caroline and sister Orlaith.
