The odd thing about Pat is that whatever issues he has:
1)seem to bother others (that he has no contact with)a lot more than him.He has always been a pretty upbeat guy.This is a very positive person.Matter of fact,too positive,for some folks.If I have one complaint against the guy,it is the depression state that was claimed a few years back.This is one guy that has been given the gift of a positive attitude.I can't really see the guy being depressed more than a day or 2 about anything.I think he is one of the most positive/confident people I have ever seen. 2)haven't been an issue in any of the races he has ridden in.This guy has been riding off and on for what 27 years now? I haven't heard one complaint from anybody about him being high while riding a horse.Has he ever been accused of being reckless for any other reason than that he is ultra-aggressive? I don't think so. I know this guy has botched fewer rides % wise for me than most all of those guys out there.To me,he appears to be a horseplayer's best friend.Not only that,but he is doing what he was evidently created to do(ride horses.)He is a productive member of society.Can you really ask much more than that from a drug addict? How many drug addicts help their daughters etc. get through College or whatever they want to do in life.Lets not just ignore the fact that this guy has a lot of family and friends in those winners circle photos.How many drug addicts even have a relationship of any kind with their kids,and family? I want the guy "clean" when he rides. As far as I can tell,he is.I think if people knew how dehydrated these jocks sometimes are(to make weight,)they would be a lot more worried about that than what some experienced high-performing jock does when he isn't riding for a few weeks or months.

So Much Talent
PVAL whatever you want to say about him one thing we can agree on is his natural riding ability. As stated before, there is no one better out of the gate than him and when he is straight and riding there is no one in So Cal that can touch him, especially with Go Go back east now....
I remember after Antley died (another rider of extreme natural given ability) Baffert told PVAL that he should take notice because that can easily be him next.... Unfortunately, addicts are generally addicted for life and PVAL's actions attest how hard it is for someone to get off the habit. PSH

It bothers the normal Joe cause if any of us got a bad test at work we would of been canned, and this guy has a green light to go and party for a few months every year and still maintain good standing with the CHRB.
