Baffert seeks 2000th win

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert has two chances to win the 2,000th race of his career at Hollywood Park on Thursday.

Baffert starts the maiden Star Presence in the first race and Queenie Marini, in the third race, an optional claimer for 2-year-old fillies.

Tuesday, he leaned toward Star Presence as his best chance.

"If I'd go to Vegas and make a bet, I'd say that Star Presence is better than Queenie Marini," he said.
