NEW YORK — Disgraced horse racing trainer Jason Servis pleaded guilty Friday to charges in a massive drug-doping scandal involving virtually all of his mounts across two years.
The New Jersey-based Servis, whose stable included speedy Saudi Cup winner Maximum Security, entered his plea in Manhattan Federal Court on two counts tied to “adulterated and misbranded drugs” banned from use in the sport.
“Servis’ conduct represents corruption at the highest levels of the racehorse industry,” said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams. “Servis abdicated his responsibilities to the animals, to regulators and the public.”
