Patrick Valenzuela.
17 riding titles in Southern California. 7 Breeders’ Cup wins. A Kentucky Derby, a Preakness, multiple Grade 1’s, and over 4300 wins in the saddle. One of the best resumes in horse racing. Patrick Valenzuela aka P Val sits down for some One on One with Jon Stettin and they talk their passion, horse racing.
You’ll hear some things about P Val you may not have known. He wrote a song about the Kentucky Derby, a race he won. He saved a boy from a fire. Even with his career setbacks, which he fully owns, his record and talent in the irons stand out. We can only imagine where he would rank without them.
Relive the great run of Arazi in The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and get the back story of his Kentucky Derby try. P Val will take you through one of the best Juvenile runs ever. Who got 50-1 on Sunday Silence in the Derby Future book in Vegas and why? Hear firsthand how P Val and Sunday Silence beat Easy Goer and Pat Day in an epic Preakness. Get the real story of The Belmont Stakes Easy Goer won.
Listen to one of the greatest race riders ever and what it was like for him to ride for people like Charlie Whittingham and Bobby Frankel. Who did P Val not want to be head and head against in the stretch? P Val, but hear who besides himself.
A great and passionate conversation where you’ll hear some things you’ll only hear on Past the Wire.
P Val is the second guest to tear up talking with Jon, the first was Paulo Lobo on this great show.
