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.

  • Sweet: A pussy to the end, I talk more racing than you.  You talk me 90% of the time for 6 months.  Seriously dude, drop to your knees and pray to be a man again.

  • Kirby's Ace: Onething for sure is plop members will be able to discyss horse racing without you drawing people into your fantasy world of make believe abd insults. Having to lower one's standards to be able to converse to yourvs quite difficult.

  • Sweet: Guy starts a NAZI thread then says he won't lowe himself.  Will protect Kirby's family  tmbz1 Anytime Calhoun and Kirby would start losing badly in a bang they'd call ADMIN or whomever had the BANDED button, then taunt their enemy who was beating them to a pulp to apologize...basic ally they need to have someone's hands held behind their backs so they can throw their mousy haymakers which land like cotton balls  ngc3  The no shows, all that bullshit is no surprise, compared to having to band someone who kicks your fucking teeth in, deservedly.  ngc3  Kirby & Calhoun - forever.  :-*  If they're HOF, then the Plop HOF is complete bullshit!  ;D

  • Kirby's Ace: I won't have to lower myself to your level of stupidity just to communicate with you any longer..So I thank you for that for the short time it will last.
