It is sad that whenever he seems to start doing well, he sabotages himself....and it has ALWAYS started with him "calling in sick", "or ovesleeping due to cold medication", and it is usually after beginning to succeed and have a number of live mounts. He really can ride when he is clean.
I just wonder if someday we will be readling about a tragic overdose from one of racing's real wasted talents....I hope we can remember his great rides on Sunday Silence and his duels with Pat Day and Easy Goer, but I'm afraid Pat is choosing a different legacy for himself.
