Patrick Valenzuela says he currently weighs 126 pounds and must start eating better to reduce enough to be able to ride horses without carrying excess weight.

INGLEWOOD, Calif.- An ongoing battle with weight will keep Patrick Valenzuela from riding in the near future, the jockey said on Sunday.

Valenzuela took off his lone mount on Sunday and said later in the day that he is struggling to control his weight.

I cant get my weight off, Valenzuela said in a phone interview. Im 126 [pounds]. It is tough and its tougher than I thought.

I ran this morning and I got to 126. I was 129. Until Im get my weight down Im not going to name on horses. Its not fair to horsemen.

Valenzuela is not named to ride on eight-race programs at Hollywood Park on Thursday or Friday.

Valenzuela ended a five-month retirement last month at the start of the current spring-summer meeting. Last December, Valenzuela announced his retirement, citing a gall bladder surgery in November and lingering soreness in his knees.

Valenzuela, who won the 1989 Kentucky Derby on Sunday Silence, has won 4,334 races in a career that has been plagued by interruptions for substance abuse problems in the past.
