$150,000 DON VALPREDO CALIFORNIA CUP SPRINT STAKES QUOTES
JOCKEY QUOTES
HECTOR BERRIOS, THE CHOSEN VRON, WINNER: “I knew the five horse (Brickyard Ride) had the early speed, so I watched him and tried to stay very close. I waited and waited along Mario’s horse (Moose Mitchell) and then we moved outside and my horse responded very well. I asked him once and he went on.”
TRAINER QUOTES
ERIC KRULJAC, THE CHOSEN VRON, WINNER: “We own his mother (Tiz Molly) and she’s been quite the mare. Breeding in California is the best thing that I have ever done. This horse has made it worth it all by himself. He was smart enough to wait at the turn when they spread out a little bit and then he just took off. “Hector is tremendous to work with and he is professional.”
NOTES: The winning owners are Sondereker Racing LLC, J. Eric Kruljac, Robert Fetkin, and Richard Thornburgh.
