LOUISVILLE, Ky. _ Jason Servis was overcome with emotion. His undefeated colt Maximum Security had just led all the way in the Kentucky Derby, the world's most famous race. Suddenly, the dream of every thoroughbred trainer was all his, the ultimate triumph.
He thought he'd matched his brother's feat of training a Derby winner. After John Servis won in 2004, also on a sloppy track, with undefeated Smarty Jones, he gave the garland of roses to Jason. Now Jason was going to phone their father, Joe Servis, a former state steward in West Virginia. It would be one of the greatest "Hey, pop, I did it, too" moments in racing history.
"I want to call my dad," Jason Servis told NBC. "It's going to be real emotional for me. I'm trying hard to keep it together. I'm about to lose it. My brother won it, now I won it."
