Trainer Jason Servis let FIRENZE FIRE go at a two-minute clip during his Thursday morning gallop. Servis timed his Grade 1 Champagne winner in 2:07.

"I thought he went good, nice, never even took a breath," Servis said.

Expect Firenze Fire to be sent away from the gate from his rail post by Paco Lopez. Servis said that Firenze Fire has broken on top in his last few races but his riders have not taken advantage of that.

"Paco wins a lot of races for us," said Servis, who is 88 for 238 with Lopez. "Sometimes he shakes things up, mkaes things happen."
