Title: Jimmy Devaux earnings
Post by: The Exporter on May 03, 2026, 05:10:47 PM: Jimmy is a hard working driver. Commuted between Saratoga and Monticello for years.
Yesterday, his sister wins one race as a trainer and her commission is what takes Jimmy and 80% of the harness drivers 2 years or more to earn
