Don’t be surprised if a few years from now you hear someone from Cranford announcing the next Triple Crown winner. John Piassek graduated from Cranford High this year but he’s already had the opportunity to guest call a race at Monmouth Park.
You don’t find too many teenagers who have an interest in horse racing, to say nothing of having an interest in calling horse races. I asked John how that interest developed.
