Just add little bit more in your reply,

If one investigate the origin of such ahadees and the opinion of Scholars of Ahadees, then either they are classified as fabricated if not weak..

These ahadees was popular in the days of Ummayads and it is still believed that the originators of such ahadees were Banu-Abbas and Shias ( who were allies against the Ummayad empire) with the aim to get the religious sympathy, support and approval for the cause of agitation against Ummayad from the masses of the main land ( and it actually worked), the Black Flag was the flag of Banu Abbas, they were strong in the province of Kharasaan and Mawa’tul’nehr… ( check any history book for that matter)… and yes they were the one who marched on horses…

Now when Ummayads were defeated by Banu-Abbas, they ( Banu-Abbas) turned against their very own ally, the Shias… so such ahadees continued… which was nothing more than a wishful thinking of a cult and now of a nation who want to do nothing and get everything…

most ahadith and history was compiled in times of abbassids we cannot pick and choose which ones are fabricated and which ones are not
abbassids are not the first muslim group to have a black flag , nor can they be the last one. So to dismiss this hadith on basis of this is coming to premature closure
But yes they did benefit from propoganda of this ahadith
