Leon Bailey..epiomizes everything wrong with harness racing

[bello]

I will admit to having 10 dollar dd with the 1 and 4 race rACE 2 AT sARATOGA. They were both locks to win. One or the other. As well as staying live in the P5

In typical asshole Bailey form. he is 56-1 from Post 3. First he runs Beckwith down fome the rail, then he cuts the 4 off in the pocket and forces him to break.

Bailey  Fuck You!

I rarely get upset about losing, but when someone purposely affect the outcome of a race....

That may have been the worse drive I've ever seen. Why would a 40-1 shot delay leaving to challenge the co-favorite for the lead?

every drive he gives is the worst fucking drive

[MCR]

I cant fucking stand watching him.  Is Saratoga that pathetic that he gets more than one drive a card? How has someone not hospitalized this fucking non driving cunt yet?  Leon do us all a favor tonight when you home start a 🔥 and place your colors and i mean every single set of them in the fire 🔥.  Thank you! From all of harness racing.

Sad thing is this retard destroys Vernon wins 7 or 8 on a card. Pathetic.

How does the guy have 1000 career wins?

great question that none of us in this entire business can answer !

I know it won't happen, but if the judges called him in about his drive in the 2nd race, what could he possibly say he was thinking, other than I'm a stupid idiot.

  He’s entertaining

I just watched the replay of R2 at Saratoga.
What dangerous driving!
 but i think there's enough blame to go around.
Devaux at even money was so intent on closing the hole that Bailey way too late decided to take that Devaux drove his horse into Bailey.
They should both ride the pine for a while and get their checkbooks out.

Jimmy saw Leon was coming down and made sure to drive up in the hole.  I actually think they were both at fault.  Leon at least drives to win, but he is not well liked and gets zero favors.  Any other drive Jimmy lets him in the hole.

Devaux gave a horrible drive too, what was he thinking trying to follow Bailey's horse?

Jackie could have driven better

You spelled Per Engblom wrong in your post title...

Per is the definition of what's wrong with harness racing.  Bailey is just a no talent moron.
