Bay Meadows: Bonfante repeats

Bonfante ($5.60), coming off a five-month layoff, rallied in the lane as he repeated last years triumph in the $100,000 California Turf Sprint Championship at Bay Meadows.

Bonfante, who won last years edition off nearly an eight-month layoff, defeated longshot No Derby by a length, covering five furlong over the turf course in 57.30 seconds. Bonfante sat back early under jockey Russell Baze and then had to wait for room in the stretch.

Vaderator was clear early but gave way in the lane, finishing third.

The victory, worth $55,000, was Bonfantes ninth in 22 starts and his first for trainer Ron McAnally.
