Edward Hernandez didn’t grow up around harness racing in his native Guatemala, but he and his younger brother Williams did grow up around horses and they both fell in love with them at a young age.
So when they were first exposed to the sport at Cal-Expo racetrack in Sacramento, California they were both immediately drawn in. Williams learned a lot from a close family friend, Matias Ruiz who is like an uncle to the pair, and Edward went to work for one of the top stables in California at the time- The Tim and Denise Maier stable. Edward worked in the Maier stable for around eight years and he credits his time working with them as giving him a lot of the knowledge he has now. He has always worked closely with Williams as well and the two have learned a lot together.
