Just read that Pat Valenzuela has been approved to ride in California. This after he was barred "permanently" following his last transgression. This guy makes Steve Howe look like an amateur.

    He's unquestionably the greatest rider I've ever seen. He's also a guy who has no business on the racetrack. I'm sure he's a decent guy, because I doubt it's solely his talent that makes everyone want to bend over backwards to help him, but enough is enough.

    It'll be interesting to see how quickly he asserts himself out there, and where his mounts are coming from. I wish him luck, and I'm sure he'll ride well when he's out there. He always does. But I don't think he should be riding.
