Flores' 338 Fairplex victories rank second all time. Flores led the standings six straight years, from 1989 through 1994.

Ok they are the 2 leading riders there ever. That justifies having a match race of two 35k claimers on a Friday afternoon? I just don't understand why they need to have a match race involving these 2 guys. You want to honor them, give them a day with a mug, t-shirt or bobblehead give away. But to have a match race on a card where they are averaging about 6 horses a race is nothing but adding insult to injury.
