I wonder if anyone has checked the drive thru at Jack in the Box.

I hope to heck he's ok. It seems that this year has been particularly unkind to the jockey colony. I sure hope we don't have another bad story in the works. I pray that he's ok.

Pretty much anybody in this great country that has earned millions in his career, can find a phone and notify his place of employment or agent if, "he's o.k. and it's not what most of us are thinking."
.

He knew how tenuous his licensing is, he would have found a way to notify somebody....anybody, if he was stuck in traffic, sick, flat tire, sleepy, doesn't feel like riding horses, whatever.

Agree... and was just saying.. "I hope it's not the case"... knowing it most likely is.

99.9% he's using again.

I don't have a problem with his drug use. You're just keeping talented riders off horses and we're left with the good boys like Jon Court and Mike Luzzi.

I'd rather have PVal on a 10 day bender.

Nice to know that he's ok. Hopefully he doesn't need today off so he can get that full body haircut again.

Very presumptuous for a man on quadruple secret probation that was just a no show for a card while the people closest to him had no idea where he was.

It doesn't matter what the issue is with his girlfriend, he has no legitimate excuse because he didn't pick up the phone.

Make a damn phone call BEFORE you are a no show. That's how the rest of the world works.

Too much regulation. So what if he didn't make a phone call? S.hit happens. Let me ask this...are these people in power employing this guy and paying his taxes? If not, unless he kills another horse or jockey why should anyone care if he's on drugs?

I'll tell you why...because there's too many people on earth. The only jobs that can keep the masses employed are jobs where you're controlling, taxing, ruining the lives of others. We don't make anything these days...instead we create jobs that do nothing but keep a moron fed and the people they deal with absolutely miserable and domesticated.

Mind your own god-damned business. You can ride horses and be coked up. Not everyone responds the same to drugs. F.uck Nancy Reagan. If owners, trainers or whoever wants to hire this guy then it's their choice.
