INGLEWOOD, Calif. (Dec. 9, 2012) – Doinghardtimeagain passed odds-on favorite Home Journey turning for home and ran off with Sunday’s $200,000 Soviet Problem Stakes for 2-year-old fillies eligible for the Golden State Series at Hollywood Park.
Doinghardtimeagain is by Ministers Wild Cat, out of the Conquistador Cielo mare Silver Hawk Lady, was bred by owner Tommy Town Thoroughbreds and is trained by Jerry Hollendorfer.
She has two wins in four starts, earnings of $198,500 and was coming off a maiden win in her third start Nov. 9. She ran the seven furlongs in 1:23.93 and won by 2 ¼ lengths at odds of 6-1. Unusual Way was second and Awe Golly Molly third in the seven-horse field.
“The race came up exactly how I thought it would,’’ said jockey Martin Garcia. “There were a few speed horses and I wanted to lay on the outside where she could be really comfortable. I just let her pick it up on her own. The only thing I didn’t want to do was move too soon. When I asked her, she just left everybody.’’
Hollendorfer indicated Doinghardtimeagain will stretch to one mile in the filly division of the $300,000 California Breeders’ Champion Stakes Jan. 26 at Santa Anita.
