SAN MATEO, Calif. - David Copperfield, sidelined 14 months with an ankle injury, won the second straight start of his comeback in Saturday's $200,000 Bay Meadows Breeders' Cup Handicap.
David Copperfield ($7) defeated Ninebanks by a neck while running 1 1/8 miles on the Longden Turf Course in 1:48.95.
Prodigious sprinted to the early lead, and David Copperfield's jockey, Jason Lumpkins, was content to be second.
"I had no concern," Lumpkins said. "I knew he had speed. He tossed his head up on me at the start, but then he leveled off and rated nicely."
