Jason Servis Reaches 1,000-Win Milestone
Description:
Trainer Jason Servis notched the 1,000th win of his career April 8 at Gulfstream Park with a victory from Meant Tobe Mine in the ninth race.
The 61-year-old native of Charles Town, W. Va., was not present to witness Meant Tobe Mine's win, but has been a frequent visitor to winner's circles since the day in March of 2002 when he saddled his first winner (Hattab Be You) at Aqueduct Racetrack. The brother of trainer John Servis has scored at a 23% win rate from 4,273 starters.
Meant Tobe Mine, the 2-5-favorite ridden by Nik Juarez, sped through five furlongs on turf in :56.07 to win the optional-claiming allowance by 10 1/2 lengths.
Meant Tobe Mine was the second winner for the spring/summer meet at Gulfstream for Jason Servis, who won at a 34% clip during the championship meet, with 18 wins from 53 starters.
