TWO people who were particularly delighted after the Down Royal fixture on Monday were Christian Delcros and Simon Torrens who recorded a first training and riding success with Rossmore’s Pride.

While French native Delcros, who used to be based in Co Kildare, is now residing outside Donegal Town, Torrens, who was raised in Castlederg, Co Tyrone, has been working with Curragh trainer Aidan Howard for just over 12 months having previously spent two years in Co Meath with Tony Martin.
