Jimmy didn't want to give him the hole and drove on to close it, but he didnt get there in time and nearly caused a bad accident.
He had the last chance to avoid it and didn't exercise it. Like cars. He would have been at fault.
With Hunter's passing just recently, drivers should be MORE CAREFUL!
Jimmy was even money and Brett was 6-5. Why would Jimmy give up the two hole to Leon who is 60-1.  Leon never had sufficient room to get in.  If you had half a brain you'd read the charted line on Leon's horse stating clearly D X. which stands for driver break you know meaning Leon's fault when he ran over Brett's wheel.  Leon couldn't drive a hard cock into a wet cunt.  What is even worse is this was a horse trained by his wife.  People spend their hard earned money on these horses and guys like Leon are driving like assholes.  Do we not remember what just happened to a poor young man at the meadows? Come on guys smarten the fuck up.  If I was the judge at Saratoga there would be a mandatory drivers meeting tomorrow before the races.  Everyone would be told that shit that happened in the second race better not happen again or whoever is involved will be set down with a nice reckless driving suspension.   Time to smarten the fuck up Leon! Don't driving like a complete fucking idiot

Vernon will be open soon and Leon will get listed on a lot of the better horses to choose from. Then he can go out and flap his arms and elbows as he wins by as many lengths as he can showboating. He really thinks it’s all about him.

FYI, Vernon races Friday and Saturday nights while Saratoga races Sunday thru Wednesday!

He’ll still be at Saratoga to make a living!!

You do know the judges there hate Leon and banned hin after incident with Cushing last year. Are you telling me because he is 60/1 he is not allowed a hole but if he was 2/1 he does. It looked like to me Jimmy sped up to close the hole and a few other posters agreed with me. I think they were both at fault.

I have no dog in this fight.
I dont need charts. I use my eyes.
Jimmy could have and should have let him in. But he was even money and wanted the trip. was the spite worth it?
Bretts wheel??

Yes I'm well aware of this.    And you can't give the idiot a hole every time he leaves at 60 to 1. He drives with no respect so he doesn't get any.

Your right on that he should get parked. But Leon wasn’t being given a hole, he was fairly clear and Jimmy rushed up to close too late is how zi saw it. He could have closed the hole way earlier before Leon yielded.

I played Devaux's horse and thought he drove terrible. He used his horse unnecessarily in the 1st quarter just trying to close a hole and almost caused a wreck. After that his horse was done.

Honestly I agree, it was much more Jimmys fault.  I personally don't have a dog in the game but it's just how i saw it.  I will still go almost any other driver there he gives the hole.  The whole idea that Leon shouldn't given a hole because he is 60/1 is nonsense.

With Plainridge opening next week and Beckwith and Athearn usually driving there full-time, should be interesting to see how the driving colony plays out.

Honestly that was all Devaux 's fault.  He ran up the ass of #3 and could have caused an accident .  He caused the 3 to break then Devaux tried to stay in the race but think he realized he was coming down (dq) so said fukkk it 🤔.   Both him and Bailey suck .  Devaux is a cocky prick 🙄 and most of his drives are bad 👎   drivers there are probably tired of it all being about Brett.  But they need to have a sit down chat with these clowns over some of these ridiculous drives before someone gets hurt

Leon will be getting better drives and Some of the trainers will be driving their own when they get bad draws!!
