  • Up for Next Season Pat Valenzuela Raring to Go
    WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2015 PAT VALENZUELA RARING TO GO By Bill Finley He’s 53, hasn’t ridden in 22 months and his career has been interrupted repeatedly by substance-abuse related suspensions, but Pat Valenzuela predicted he will be as good, if not better, than ever when he returns to riding this week in Louisiana. Valenzuela, who has not ridden since January 2014, has been granted a jockey’s license by the Louisiana Racing Commission. He is scheduled to ride two horses Thursday night at Delta Downs, but both are on the also-eligible list. If neither gets in, Valenzuela will make his comeback aboard Memories of Winter (Hard Spun) in Saturday’s GIII Delta Jackpot. The horse is a legitimate contender in the race, meaning Valenzuela’s first ride back could lead to a trip to the winner’s circle in a $1-million race. He does not have any mounts on Friday’s card at Delta.
