Much of the jockey colony at Canterbury Park right now are imports from the recently concluded Turf Paradise meet. That meet was dominated by Harry Hernandez. His 138 wins was 48 clear of the next best rider.
Harry appears to be picking up right where he left off in Arizona. His 12 victories at the Canterbury meet put him 2 ahead of Lyndie Wade. The next closest jockey sits at 6 wins. What is most impressive about the young jockey is how well he seems to run in all event types.
Right now, players need to think twice before leaving Harry Hernandez mounts off their tickets.
