No doubt. The top jock out there is Michael Frickin Baze for crying out loud. A few years ago it looked like he was going to be the guy with the shinebox at the track.

P Val has his problems, but he is a talent. I'd like to see him continue riding.
It's probably what keeps him alive. Many talents have let the blow ruin their careers/lives..Doc Gooden, Steve Howe, Darryl Strawberry, etc. etc. I always hold out hope that P Val types can beat their addictions, As far as the ball sack shaving.....ouch.

Pat is on the same highway that Darryl Strawberry took and at times worse. Rehab is not in his vocabulary.

I for one didnt miss him while he was gone , and to be honest I dont care if he rides or not , if they give him his liscence back oh well its not like they havent before.
Pat put the icing on the cake for me when Julie Krone was out here riding and she was kickin some ass and would have been leading rider if Pat wouldnt have appealed his 4 sets of days until Pamona , but being the classless puke that he is he just stalled until the time of his choosing , that goodness the stews dont let that happen anymore.

Total waste of talent... Could have filled the void of Pat and Jerry and Gary retiring if he's have held it together!!

It is incredible how many times they let this guy back in the sport just because of "talent". How many executives at IBM would keep their job by continually failing drug tests and offering up ridiculous excuses and lies to cover your obvious addictions to drugs ?
I know that I would be out of a job pretty quickly...and this idiot gets his job back every time. PVal needs to be cut loose for good regardless of his talent...he may win races, but its hard to deny he's truly a loser.

I guess when they start showing up for board meetings wasted or give presentations when totally baked its time to start the testing in earnest.

But hopefully a few of them can avoid getting nailed by giving themselves full body shaves.

As long as they aren't high on the job, and are making their employer plenty of money, i'm sure they wouldn't be as ignorant as the horse racing industry and single out one of their top employees.
