Default Patrick Valenzuela

Returns to riding at Ruidoso and wins on his first ride back.
Has he figured out the traveling salesman algorithm?

Hard to believe he's only 53. Same as Stevens and only 2 years older than Smith.

It's a rough 53 though.

Charles Whittingham once said Pat V. was the best judge of pace (due to the clock in his head) of any jockey he ever saw........what a waste of talent.

He and Jack Kaenel could have been two of the greats to ever live. With Chris Antley not far behind.

All with unbelievable god given talent.

The disease of addiction is truly insidious.

Very sad
