Baffert seeks sixth Kentucky Derby win

Trainer Bob Baffert has won five Kentucky Derbies and two Triple Crowns while becoming the face of horse racing.

"The Kentucky Derby is still the one," Baffert said, standing outside his barn in front of a green-and-white sign freshly updated with the names of his Derby and Triple Crown winners. He will have three chances to make history on Saturday.
