Trainer John Servis (Ms Locust Point): “She’s just now really learned to settle. You know the old saying, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ I don’t want to throw too much at her too quick. I have to talk with [owners] Mr. [Chuck] Zachney and Jim [Reichenberg] and see if we want to try a Grade 1 next or do we want to try another Grade 2, Grade 3 and see how she handles them. She’s got such a brilliant cruising speed. She clicks off those 12’s like nothing, with her ears pricked.”
