Patrick Valenzuela has been issued a license by the state of New Mexico and is scheduled for three rides at Ruidoso on Sunday, including the mount on Heat Stroke for track owner R.D. Hubbard in the $191,077 Rio Grande Senorita Futurity.Only a heartless cynic would have anything but compassion for the long struggle Valenzuela has had with drugs and alcohol. At the same time, he is a fascinating character, with Hall of Fame stats and a Law & Order rap sheet that will confound racing historians for years to come.More recently, the physical toll of riding and reducing for so many years has plagued Valenzuela, 53, to the point of retirement. But he feels good again, he says, and he is ready to rock.
