The Ballad of Pval?

[Pedigree Ann]

The Cal authorities tried to micromanage his off-track life; he was never in trouble for anything he did while riding (except your normal day-to-day aggressive jockey stuff). It was his downtime, injury or suspension, when he wasn't getting his rush from riding, when the demons came out. If he can keep healthy and on the right side of the stewards in LA, he could be all right.
