Vron, The Chosen One, Confronts Obstacles at Del Mar – San Gabriel Valley Tribune

The first half of The Chosen Vron’s 2024 season has been nothing short of spectacular. The California-bred horse has been on a winning streak, dominating four consecutive stakes at Santa Anita and solidifying his position as the West Coast’s most popular active thoroughbred. As he transitions to the second half of the season at Del Mar, the pressure is on for The Chosen Vron to maintain his winning ways and improve on his already impressive record.

At 6 years old, The Chosen Vron is gearing up for two of the most important races of his career. First up is the $400,000 Grade I Bing Crosby Stakes, a race that he won last year in a thrilling finish. Trainer and part-owner Eric Kruljac exudes confidence in his horse, citing The Chosen Vron’s love for the Del Mar racetrack as a key factor in his success. A recent impressive workout further solidifies the belief that The Chosen Vron is in top form heading into the Bing Crosby Stakes.

The Chosen Vron will face tough competition in the Bing Crosby Stakes, with contenders like Anarchist and Happy Jack looking to upset the favorite. However, with 18 wins in 23 starts and career earnings of over $1.4 million, The Chosen Vron is the horse to beat in the field of nine.

Looking ahead, the ultimate goal for The Chosen Vron is to win the $2 million Grade I Breeders’ Cup Sprint on November 2. Last year, The Chosen Vron fell short in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint, finishing fifth after a less than ideal preparation. Trainer Kruljac acknowledges his mistake in underpreparing the horse and plans to take a different approach this year, focusing on stiffer workouts to ensure The Chosen Vron is ready for the challenge.

The Breeders’ Cup Sprint will be a tough race, with fierce competition from other top-class sprinters. Despite not having the highest speed figures in 2024, The Chosen Vron’s tenacity and determination make him a formidable contender in any race. Kruljac’s admiration for the horse is evident as he compares him to the legendary entertainer Bing Crosby, expressing his confidence in The Chosen Vron’s ability to dance his way to victory.

As The Chosen Vron prepares for the upcoming challenges at Del Mar, the excitement and anticipation among fans and racing enthusiasts are palpable. With a winning streak behind him and a trainer who believes in his potential, The Chosen Vron is poised to make a mark in the world of horse racing. Stay tuned for more thrilling races and unforgettable moments as The Chosen Vron continues his quest for greatness on the track.
