I thought it was Bob Black Jack he rode but yea it was the SA Derby.
Flores only got the initial mount by luck anyways when Smith was on vacation (think that was it), they wanted a route race to go at HP and it did not fill so they went 7/8ths a week later. Mike had worked her for a long while before the first race.
