Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 10, 2020 Journalists Share Posted March 10, 2020 Maximum Security (New Year’s Day) will be taken away from Jason Servis and turned over to Bob Baffert, owner Gary West said in a statement released early Tuesday. West said that all the horses he has under Servis’s care will be moved to new trainers. Servis is among 27 individuals who were indicted Monday by the District Attorney for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan, as part of a wide-ranging investigation into doping. Servis and trainer Jorge Navarro were the two most notable names involved in the probe. West’s statement read: “Yesterday, Jason Servis, a trainer we have used for five years was indicted on multiple charges regarding using an illegal substance in horses. This news is extremely disturbing and disappointing. Therefore we will be moving all our horses from Jason Servis as soon as arrangements can be made with other trainers. Maximum Security will be sent to Bob Baffert.” In addition to the statement, West said the following in an e-mail to the TDN: “My statement represents all I know at this time; you would never ask me to, but I will not speculate or guess at anything–I hope you understand.” Baffert has trained several top horses for West, who also employs Steve Asmussen.
