It would make for a great human interest story. Hall of fame trainer joins up with hall of fame jockey.
I'm sure P. Val. will show up every morning to work BB's horses.
Still a great rider that is finding it very difficult to get mounts at a race track that has more jockeys then horses.
P. Val. is still a young man and his skill and will to win is unequaled.

Personally, I really admire P Val, and he's definitely one of my favorites, but why try to get him back to the top again at his age? I don't feel it's fair. Wasn't he already given that golden opportunity in his younger years as a rider? It's just my opinion, but I feel that the best opportunities should be handed to the young and hungry riders who display an abundance of skill, discipline, and talent. Again, I wish P Val the very best, and hope he continues to have great success, but his best days are behind him.
