Two-time GI Bing Crosby Stakes winner The Chosen Vron (Vronsky), who holds a 'Win and You're In' berth for the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint Nov. 2, will bypass the race, according to a report by Zoe Cadman on X. Cadman, part of the team who hosts the TDN Writers' Room Podcast, attributed the news to The Chosen Vron's co-owner John Sondereker.
The Chosen Vron won six straight after a fifth behind champion Elite Power (Curlin) in last year's Breeders' Cup Sprint and most recently finished second by a neck in the Aug. 24 GII Pat O'Brien Stakes at Del Mar. The California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) placed the 6-year-old gelding on the vet's list Monday due to “unsoundness” at Santa Anita.
A 17-time black-type winner, The Chosen Vron is trained by J. Eric Kruljac and campaigns for Kruljac, Sondereker Racing LLC, Robert S. Fetkin, and Richard Thornburgh.
