RACING/Sligo report: Tom Hogan's horses have been in great form for the last few weeks and Sand N Sea provided him with another winner when she took the two-year-old fillies race at Sligo last night.
Seamus Heffernan sent the 10 to 1 shot into the lead with a furlong to run and she stayed on well to hold the renewed challenge of Tiros by three-parts of a length.
The opening 0-50 handicap went to the Thomand O'Mara-trained Truscott. Wayne Lordan's mount was under pressure a long way from home but responded well to beat Mount George by half a length.
Barry Geraghty and Michael Halford both landed doubles as they combined to take the Terry Casey Memorial Maiden Hurdle with Rapide Plaisir, who stayed on in the closing stages to beat Cat Five by four lengths.
Willie Slattery and John Cullen, who both took nasty falls at the third last, came back unscathed.
Earlier, Halford's Notanother won her first race in the 0-70 handicap, while Geraghty opened his account for the evening when riding It Was'nt me to victory in the handicap hurdle.
Lord Rozz put up a polished display under David Casey to win the Sherry Fitzgerald Draper Property Maiden Hurdle for Charlie Swan after hitting the front approaching the second last and drawing clear of Admirals Place for a four and a half lengt win.
