Hernandez set a career high with 243 victories in 2004 and set a new career best for purse earnings with $8,034,048 in 2012.
In early 2017, Hernandez was employed by the connections of two talented 30-year-olds – McCraken and Girvin – to ride in the Road to the Kentucky Derby prep series of races. After riding McCraken to stakes wins in the fall of 2016, he piloted the colt to an authoritative win in the Sam F. Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs on Feb. 11.
Two weeks later, Hernandez was aboard Girvin for his breakthrough win in the Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds. He returned to guide Girvin to the winner’s circle in the Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby on April 1.
