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.
At the end of the day leon didn't have the proper room.    But alot of them drive very wrecklessly especially into the first turn when they are cowboying them things out of there.

You call that driving to win. You are funny. And Jimmy D had every right to the pocket

It was hard to see but at start Bailey and Devauxhad a moment..was it a hooked wheel to start or a disagreement..it only got worse after that Bailey accelerating the 55-1 into first turn under Devaux.
A wild and so dangerous display

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.

He has 1000 wins. Most are at Vernon, where all the top drivers left years ago. Not impressed at all when I watch him drive at the Big M and Stg.

I dont know how the whole colony at Saratoga hasn't knocked him around in the locker room.  I've never seen one guy drive like a bone head everyday.  30 40 40 60 to 1 and sends them things running guys 26 an 27 quarters.  He drove a little smarter after that race he must of got a serous ass chewing after that. I don't know how Saratoga doesn't have more terrible wrecks. These guys send these things 3 an 4 wide into the first turn knocking and slashing and not a one has a tight line on a horse! I cringe watching them barrell into the first turn daily

You obviously don’t like Leon as I looked back at your posts.  Jimmy drove up to close the hole where if that was Beckwith or Randall he would automatically give.

I agree with you.  But in my opinion Leon driving like an asshole at 100 to 1 is why he's "hated" and gets no "favors"

I obviously don't like that piece of shit. And while you are looking at my previous posts, each time I posted against him he ran down the favorite with longshots that could not win while refusing tucks. That is called race fixing.

Not that you would know because clearly you don't know how to watch a race.

Notice I don't complain about drivers. I accept my loses as part of the game. He is the only one, along with Tyler Miller I have openly complained about and Tyler just makes many mistakes. Leon is a criminal and he will get someone hurt trying to bring his numbers home.

I think Leon is a very retarded driver and dangerous. But I don't think he's betting. I definitely don't think he's smart enough to set up races. He's a brain dead hillbilly who is a pathetic excuse of a driver. I think being late 30s or 40 whatever he is and just hitting 1000 wins tells the story.  What is really scary is the idiot gets drives.

It seems as if he is taking an envelope to run down favorites. It occurs with too much regularity. That takes no brains.

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!
