Jena Antonucci Makes History as First Female Trainer to Win Triple Crown Race with Arcangelo's Belmont Stakes Victory.

Jena Antonucci became the first female trainer to win a Triple Crown race as Arcangelo won the Belmont Stakes. The victory put a positive note on a Triple Crown series marred by thoroughbred deaths on the track and threatened by bad air quality from wildfires in Canada. Despite efforts by veterinarians, Excursionniste sustained a catastrophic injury to his left front leg and was euthanized. Cody’s Wish and Elite Power also won their respective races on the 13-race card.
