I just assumed he would return to Yonkers after OD closed which is now. I think John is ok and hopefully will be back soon. We did get 2 nights from the colorful George the King Anthony last week. Too bad no one was at YR to hear him.

I believe Hernan put out a release saying thank you for the memories at Yonkers Raceway! Hopefully moved on to bigger and better things. Being the race announcer at Yonkers and Roosevelt [RIP] isn't the same job it used to be from the glory days of harness racing!
