Sad
I'm so sorry to hear this news
When I first started with the methodology in the mid-late 90's I was only working races from "Philly" I first started to notice on the Synthesis and or Validator program PP'S Trainer "Lake, Scott" It seemed like every winner was trained by some guy named Lake Scott I finally heard it was Scott Lake, Then I started to notice Lake, Scott horses were almost always ridden by Flores, Jose I'm sure over the years I have seen a great percentage of Jose Flores 4650 career wins RIP my very first known jockey Jose Flores Last edited by Bill V.; 03-20-2018 at 10:27 AM. |

As of last night (3/20) Jose Flores was still on life support and in critical condition. I don't have any more information on what his prospects are, though it sounds dire.

Morning folks. I just received an e mail from a very reliable source at Parx that it looks like the slim hope they were holding onto has appeared to have faded. All we can do now is pray for a miracle. If I hear more I'll update everyone.

Jockey Jose Flores passed away early this morning, succumbing to his injuries suffered in Monday's race at PARX.
http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/...-20180321.html Condolences to his family and to those who he inspired by his passion in this sport. Ted
