I began to "follow" TB racing in 1998. Knew little aside from big races and big horses,i.e.Seattle Slew. Am a native ny'er. Read handicapping books, etc. Started wagering on-line and local OTB. Wagered on NYRA, predominately.
My "memory of Servis" was that he was a "big" trainer at a"second- rate racetrack" in "apple=knocker county...Finger Lakes.... Familiar with him when an had occasional racer in ny, usually Aqueduct.
Fair or not...my impression of him...rumors...OTB chatter was that he was a "juicer".(along with others,no doubt) but that was my lasting impression.
Never bet his horses. Always disregarded him vis a vis NY trainers.
"Vaguely" aware he raced at Monmouth. Never figured how he became so "successful" when I'd see his entries in NY...w/ Monmouth PP.
Servis and Navarro should go to jail for 10 years.
Finger Lakes had a bad rep 10/15 yrs ago... Probably better now with casino gambling.
