Leading driver Leon Bailey is having a season of which even his late grandfather, Vernon legend, Jack “The Ripper” Bailey, would be proud. Leon added five more wins at Vernon Downs on Saturday (July 10).
Coming into the season the most wins Bailey got in a season was 53. With his five wins on Saturday, he now has 54 in 2021. That is in less than half a season. He registered his wins with Cool Jack ($11.00), Discus Hanover ($9.90), Hotfoot Hannah ($10.20), Bruces Magic ($9.60), and Syracuse Express ($3.20).
Thats Incredible won the $7,000 Fillies & Mares Open Pace.
