The popular 6-year-old gelding and sprinter seeks a repeat win in Saturday’s Bing Crosby Stakes before taking aim at the Breeders’ Cup
The Chosen Vron heads to the winner’s circle with jockey Hector Berrios after their victory in the Kona Gold Stakes on April 27, 2024, at Santa Anita Park. The first half of The Chosen Vron’s 2024 season went just about perfectly. He launched a defense of his California-bred Horse of the Year title, as well as his unofficial ranking as the West Coast’s most popular active thoroughbred, by dominating four consecutive stakes at Santa Anita to run his latest winning streak to five races.
That the most important races of the The Chosen Vron’s career will take place at Del Mar is one reason Eric Kruljac, the horse’s 71-year-old trainer and part-owner, brimmed with confidence in a phone interview from the north San Diego County track this week. It put The Chosen Vron on edge as he tries to join Kona Gold and four other horses as repeat winners of the Bing Crosby.
“He just needs to stay out of trouble,” said Kruljac, who expects The Chosen Vron “very likely will repeat his effort from last year.” The trainer said he wouldn’t add a race to The Chosen Vron’s schedule in the 98 days between the Bing Crosby and the Breeders’ Cup.
