I couldn’t keep doing that.” Sweezey’s horses were left in very capable hands with assistant trainers Steve Moyer and Eddie Azate, who also had pre- viously worked for Jerkens. “The same things I learned is the same stuff Steve Moyer learned. With Eddie it’s the same way. We all learned the Jerkens Way,” Sweezey said. “We just need to get the grooms to buy into it. We already know it works.” Sweezey grew up in Lexington, Ky., where his parents oper- ate Timber Town Stable. “I did the sales, foals and mares, and yearling prep. I did all that,” he said. Sweezey went on to work for trainer Christophe Clement for a year, before venturing to Southern California to work for trainer Eoin Harty for three years and returning east to serve as Jerkens assistant for three years. “As soon as I started at the racetrack, I wanted to work for the best people,” he said. “I wanted to win races. That’s what you get up for in the morning.” Sweezey went out on his own in 2017 and has saddled 128 winners, including Phat Man, who gave him the first graded- stakes success while winning the Fred Hooper (G3) at Gulfstream Park last January. Sweezey, who saddled Phat Man for runner-up finishes in last season’s Harlan’s Holiday and Gulfstream Park Mile (G2), is hoping to build on that success during the 2020-2021 Championship Meet and beyond at Gulfstream. “We’re big-time looking forward to the meet and we love Palm Meadows,” Sweezey said. “We’re always trying to pick up new owners. We’ve had some calls, because they see us down here. This is a constant. The good thing about South Florida is it’s a constant.”

It was the first victory for the 35-year-old Joyce since winning on Bouquet Babe on Jan. 30, 2014, also at Laurel. “Just a lot of gratitude pretty much for Maryland racing and the trainers and the stewards and the jocks, everybody, just for accepting me back and helping me along the way to get to where I am today,” Joyce said. “It’s been a long journey but this what I do it for, this feeling. “It’s been tough, knocking on the door,” he added. “Robin stuck by me for so long, as long as many others, but I’ve been working this filly in the morning and it all panned out today.” Based in the Mid-Atlantic, primarily in Maryland, Joyce compiled 564 wins and $11.6 million in purse earnings between 2004 and 2014.
