P.Val...a racing tragedy
P Val is one of the saddest stories in modern US horse racing.
A gifted rider, it was hard to find a better gate rider, when in his prime.
He got the best out of most horses he rode, and he was strong in a finish.
Now, added to his all his other problems, is a battle with weight.
I haven't watched him much lately, but he can't be as good as before.
I really doubt that he will get on many live mounts at Del Mar.
Too bad....but he caused his own problems.
He has had more comeback chances than Steve Howe.
When I think of P.Val, I tend to just shake my head.
You think of him riding so well, and then your thoughts stray to what might have been.
What a waste of a great talent.....
