Yonkers Raceway’s veteran track announcer, John Hernan, was the subject of a local TV profile this past weekend.
News 12 Westchester stopped up to the booth last Friday night and spoke with the 47-year-old Hernan before the races about his craft, then showed him in action during the early part of the card. The story first aired Friday night, then was cycled through the weekend.
“I was very flattered they did a story about me,” said Hernan, who has been the voice of Yonkers Raceway since 1999. “I get a thrill out of doing this job every night, and I hope it came across that way.”
