P Val is attempting to make another comeback. He's hoping to ride at Del Mar this meet. I don't know whether he has gotten the okay from the stewards at this point. But I do know that he plans on coming back this summer.

Thank you for that and happy to hear... not necessarily what his plans are but as a human being, you know? That he is still among the living.

He will always be one of the greatest jockeys I have had the privilege to see and I will always wish the man strength, peace and happiness.

Regarding his attempted comeback? I hope that whatever is meant to happen for him does. There can't be an abundance of things a former jock would excel at BUT, if this latest comeback attempt doesn't pan out? I do hope he can figure out a way to use his talents and find purpose... be useful, find happiness.

Maybe it's not popular but I will always root for the guy. :)

I think alcoholism and drug abuse are both bona fide diseases and to root against those afflicted would be equivalent to rooting against a lung cancer patient for smoking.

Hope they both make it back as both are hugely talented. If not I hope both beat their illnesses.

Is every heavy drinker an alcoholic? Cause I'm pretty sure everybody with lung cancer has lung cancer, and they'd all love to quit lung cancer.

Of course not but every heavy drinker that has lost their career and or family/way of life a la alcoholic would love to quit drinking and thus quit alcoholism.

BTW not every smoker has lung cancer.

CHRB REJECTS HEARING OFFICER PROPOSAL TO LICENSE PATRICK VALENZUELA

http://www.paulickreport.com/news/th...ck-valenzuela/

DJARUM 08-06-2015 04:26 PM

Saw he got an exercise license, tweet by point given

PATRICK VALENZUELA MAKING PROGRESS ON COMEBACK TRAIL

Patrick Valenzuela, granted a license to exercise horses by the California Horse Racing Board in early August while his jockey’s license remains suspended, is making progress for a return to riding, subject to board approval which, if successful, could be in evidence for the Bing Crosby Meeting here when it commences on Thursday, October 29.

“I’m working hard and doing all I can to get my license back on October 17,” Valenzuela said Thursday morning. Valenzuela will turn 53 on October 17.

Valenzuela said he has been working 5-10 horses a morning for a variety of trainers, among them Mike Pender, Doug O’Neill, George Papaprodroumou and Ron McAnally. His weight is 128.

“I’ll be at 117 when I’m ready to ride again,” Valenzuela said. “I’m calling it the ‘Eye of the Tiger’ comeback.”

How many chances does one get? When does it end? Does it finally end when an impaired jockey causes an accident that paralyzes or kills another?

casp0555 09-03-2015 05:44 PM

He named his comeback??

geeker2 09-03-2015 08:44 PM

With a catchy name like that maybe he can get a company to even sponsor his comeback.

"Its the P-Val, EYE OF THE TIGER comeback", sponsored by
