Hofmans owns both Sharp Cat Stakes victories as Runway Rosie wins

The only trainer to have won the $100,000 Sharp Cat Stakes at Hollywood Park remains David Hofmans.

Hofmans, who won the inaugural Sharp Cat a year ago with Balance, got the money again in the ungraded race Sunday when Runway Rosie, a 5-1 shot, rallied between horses in the stretch to beat Spenditallbaby by a half-length. Back In The Shade was third, two lengths in front of 2-1 favorite Kimmy Potter.

Owned by Class Racing Stable and Allen and Leslie Rosenblum, the gray daughter of Include ran the 1 1/16 miles under jockey Garrett Gomez in 1:45.40.

Purchased for $30,000 as a yearling at the Keeneland September sale in 2005, Runway Rosie won for the second time in four starts.
