RIP Leigh.
Saw him during the later years of his career. Aggressive driver. 7,000+ wins.  Not too shabby.

Loved to stay on the rail, very smart and talented driver.  He and Elmer Ballard made quite the team.

Fitch drove a winner for me at Rockingham. Coerfurst in a w/o trot from the 10 post. Gate to wire. I guess now he will team up with Bobo again. RIP.

He was one of Walter Case's good friends back in the day.

I used to watch Fitch at the old Foxboro Raceway. My brother lived in Brockton, MA. Whenever I came to visit for the weekend it always included a trip to that old racetrack. LOL!

A true classic, old-time New England horseman. Had a long, storied, and interesting career. He will be remembered and missed.

  • ScrapeThePaint: Answer- it’s Mike who is obsessed with every single person that mentions his name. I just told you that he posted over 65 times yesterday. Blowing up every single thread. Complete obsessive compulsive behavior. It’s really sickening and I hope he gets the help. He’s so desperately needs.
