His slow start hasn't seemed to worried owners and trainers who have him busy this weekend. On Friday Pat will be off to ride two stakes races at Delta Downs. His calls include Overextended in the Delta Jackpot Stakes and Champagne Eye's in the Delta Princess Stakes. Then on Saturday he is back to ride four races at Hollywood Park including Sudan in the Hollywood Turf Cup. To finish his weekend he will be down at Zia Park where he rides Rollicking Caller in the Zia Park Distance Championship. Now that's what I call star power. No other jockey in the country could show up after a year layoff, have a 9% win average and land these kind of calls. Lets face it the sport of kings has been good to Pat Valenzuela. I believe in second chances myself, but Pat's second chance has long been exhausted and it's time these owners and trainers open their eyes and give another hard working play by the rules jockey a chance of a lifetime.
