Vicky Baze came rolling home late to guide Decarchy Park to victory for trainer Doug Oliver in Tuesday's ninth race at Turf Paradise, notching career win 2,000 in the process.
“Wow! What a wonderful feeling this is,” said the 46-year-old Baze. “I thank all the good people and horses who helped me get here. I couldn’t have done it without them.”
Baze, who rode her first winner in 1985 at the now-defunct Longacres Park near Seattle, admitted to doubts about reaching this milestone.
