Proudinsky Finds U.S. Success in Bay Meadows Derby

Under a patient ride from Patrick Valenzuela, odds-on choice Proudinsky seized the lead at the eighth pole and drew away in the final strides to win the $100,000 Bay Meadows Derby (gr. IIIT) on the lawn Sunday.

The German-bred Silvano colt, owned by Gary Tanaka and trained by Bobby Frankel, earned his first win in four United States starts this year. Valenzuela rode the bay for the first time Sunday.

Proudinsky, racing with Lasix for the first time, tracked the leaders from fourth into the far turn, swung three wide coming off the turn and soon drew even with Bold Chieftan, who battled on for Russell Baze before giving way late. Proudinsky prevailed by 1 1/4 lengths under steady urging in a time of 1:48 1/5 on a good course.
Front-running Bedlam Bertie (:24 4/5, :48 4/5 and 1:13 4/5) held third under Frank Alvarado, finishing 2 1/2 lengths behind the winner.
