Brian “B.J.” Hernandez
Brian “B.J.” Hernandez has always been considered a quality rider since he vied for the Eclipse Award as leading apprentice in 2004. One of the many graduates of the Louisiana School of Hard Knocks, Hernandez is well respected on the Kentucky riding circuit and has worked for many of the top trainers. A smart thinking, hard-working, quality jockey who has “flied under the radar,” he was the early pilot of Horse of the Year Rachael Alexandra and most recently won the Grade 1 Whitney Stakes aboard Fort Larned, a potential Handicap Horse of the year.
