Jockey Patrick Valenzuela, who has not ridden since December after he had his conditional jockey’s license in California revoked following an arrest for driving under the influence, has relocated to Louisiana Downs in Bossier City, La., and intends to begin riding there on May 31.....

He's got no chance for a come back. Someone who's been so tainted by the specter of drug abuse will never be successful in this business...never mind.

As talented as he may have been as a jock, his best decisions were in the legal counsel he's hired. Some of the maneuvering they've done to keep him afloat has been brilliant. The hair follicle defense was classic.

Still hope Patrick finds the help he needs before it's too late.

Patrick V. is in fact riding today at Louisiana Downs. Our track handicapper for the afternoon is famous around these parts, he goes by the handle ntamm1215. He's working the simulcast signal for the weekend and has three pages of questions for P-Val in case he gets to interview him.

In truth, P-Val is wildly talented and will really give our local jocks a scare. He rides the hair of horses and that's what it takes often at Louisiana Downs.

Enjoy the races!!!

When I think of La Downs, I immediately think of Mecke and Jerry Bailey's ride on him flying down the stretch. I don't suppose you called that race or was it before you arrived down there?

Glad to know that.. thanks for the info. Look forward to reading Patricks interview if he does indeed partake. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction towards him finding his way out of the darkness.

That was before my time... I believe I was still in high school then! I started calling here in 2006... this is my third year.

At age 45 Patrick is still a very likeable character and when he is meeting his commitments the winners just come his way. Patrick is the only jockey I have seen that can make a good agent out of someone that has never seen a horse race before.

"Jockey Patrick Valenzuela, who is based at Louisiana Downs, has not ridden since July 11 because he injured his knee in a pickup game of basketball, according to his agent, Jerry Reites. He will be out of action indefinitely, Reites said Sunday."

Yeah o.k..

I want a new drug
One that won't make me sick
One that won't make me crash my car
At a fast food drive-thru
I want a new drug
One that won't make me shave my head
One that won't make my mouth too dry
Or make my fail a piss test
