Joss Saville has joined the Pin Oak Stud team as farm trainer, responsible for the breaking and pre-training of their young horses. Saville is a former assistant to multiple grade 1-winning trainer Michael Matz (Barbaro, Union Rags, Round Pond) for the last 12 years.

"It was a really hard decision to leave Michael. He is a true horseman and I am grateful for all the knowledge he passed along to me. I consider myself very lucky to have spent so long a time working alongside him, his fantasic team and some really nice horses. Now, I am really looking forward to starting this next chapter of my career with Jim and Dana Bernhard. I'm excited to join a great team of people who all share a passion for producing quality horses. I'm very thankful to the Bernhards for puĆ«ng their faith in me to train and educate their young horses at such a historical facility."

The Bernhards said, "Joss comes highly recommended and we are very fortunate and happy to have him arrive at Pin Oak. He brings with him a wonderful world of experience and we hope to provide him with a top-class training and rehab center where he can turn our yearlings into nice two-year-olds ready to ship out in the spring. We welcome Joss and his lovely wife, Jo, in making Pin Oak their new home."
