Former Maximum Security trainer Jason Servis has pleaded guilty in federal court for his role in doping racehorses under his care in order to win more prize money, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said.
Prosecutors said Servis doped nearly all of the horses under his care including Maximum Security, who appeared to have won the 2019 Kentucky Derby before being disqualified for interference. The colt went on to win the $20 million Saudi Cup, the world’s richest horse race, the following year.
