JOCKEY QUOTES
HECTOR BERRIOS, THE CHOSEN VRON, WINNER: “We had a great break and the plan was to stay behind the speed. It was in our favor that the two horses were battling each other in front. I just took him to the outside a bit, to get him in the clear and he did the rest.
“He has a big, beautiful stride. I looked out at the (Infield) screen, and I saw how easy he was going and I just let him do his thing.”
TRAINER QUOTES
ERIC KRULJAC, THE CHOSEN VRON, WINNER: “The Chosen Vron… you can put him where you want him. I told Hector (Berrios) he might be a little fresh. When he came back, he said, ‘He was just push button. When I moved my hand, he had another gear and he was gone.’
“I wish I had another one… but we will live with what we are given. He has been a blessing. You don’t come by a horse like this very often. Everybody deserves to have a horse like him.”
NOTES: The winning owners are Sondereker Racing LLC, Eric J. Kruljac, Robert S. Fetkin, and Richard Thornburgh.
