His companion, Sally Warne, stopped by the Harrah's Louisiana Downs racing office on Tuesday and gave an update that Flores was able to move his legs and feet fine; lift his head, shoulders, and elbows, but still not able to move his fingers. He will begin physical therapy today. She added that it will be a “long road” to recovery.

According to statistics on Equibase. Flores has won 366 races and purses of $5.9 million since he began riding in 1994.
