HOLLYWOOD PARK
According to backstretch reports, trainer Bob Baffert’s barn at Hollywood Park was searched Thursday by investigators for the California Horse Racing Board.
Neither a board spokesman nor Baffert would confirm the search. Baffert is at Pimlico in Baltimore, preparing Captain Steve to run in Saturday’s Preakness.
“I have no comment about that,” Baffert said when asked about the search.
Sometimes state investigators conduct a barn search after a trainer’s horse has tested positive for an illegal drug.
“I have no comment about that, either,” Baffert said. “A barn search could mean a lot of things.”
