I have no idea how this guy gets re-instated every time??
He is a joke and his repeated violations should have him banned from the sport for Life!!!

this is his 4th or 5th time for his comeback and he still does stupid stuff like that. He is only in this game for the money and that is a fact.

I for one will wish him the best in his war against his demons and hope he can come back clean and sober.

I find it to be a character flaw to kick someone when their addictions take everything away from them.

We all have our faults.

And no racing jurisdiction has made
more controversial and questionable rulings in recent years than the CHRB.

Today is just one less day Patrick Valenzuela will have to wait
before being reinstated (once again).

No one seems to be learning from all this.
The CHRB is just as guilty of stupidity as Mr. Valenzuela.
Ain't that the truth ?

I USED to be a big PVAL fan...."used to" being the key words. This 9 time loser has had way too many chances and should be removed from racing permanently.......eventually he will come to the track loaded or strung out and cause havoc out there...I say adios pval......good riddance.
