Trainer Bio

Servis has spent his life in racing and was at the top of the sport in 2004 when Smarty Jones came very close to winning the Triple Crown. Under Servis' direction, Smarty Jones won the Derby preps at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas and went on to win the Derby and the Preakness. The colt was on the lead in the stretch of the Belmont Stakes, but Birdstone caught and passed him as they approached the wire. Servis grew up a mile from Charles Town Racetrack in West Virginia, where his father, Joe, was a jockey, then a manager of the Jockeys' Guild and finally a state steward. Before taking out his training license in 1984, Servis worked on a horse farm, was a jockey agent and an assistant to trainer Mark Reid. Servis handled Smarty Jones for the late Philadelphia car dealer Roy Chapman. He introduced another prominent car dealer, Rick Porter, to the sport and trained for him until 2006. Porter has become a very successful owner, and his filly Havre de Grace was the Horse of the Year in 2011. Servis has trained more than 1,200 winners and earned more than $35 million in purse money in his career.
