SARATOGA SPRINGS \u2014 The sign outside Jena Antonucci\u2019s Barn 44 at Saratoga Race Course says a lot but not everything:<\/p>\n
2023 BELMONT STAKES WINNER<\/p>\n
Trainer: Jena Antonucci<\/p>\n
Owner: Blue Rose Farm<\/p>\n
Horse: Arcangelo<\/p>\n
Jockey: Javier Castellano<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t mention that on June 10, 2023, in Elmont, N.Y., Antonucci became the first female thoroughbred trainer to win a Triple Crown race.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess we did a thing last year, apparently,\u201d Antonucci told The Post with a chuckle. \u201cSure, it\u2019ll always hold a special place. It wasn\u2019t, \u2018If I win the Belmont, I\u2019ll become the first woman to do something.\u2019 That wasn\u2019t part of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Belmont is such a historic race. It\u2019s so Americana and part of the fabric of racing. For me, it was watching our team accomplish that, watching the horse accomplish that, the owner accomplish that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Antonucci was ready for the next question, and her reaction made it clear it\u2019s not the first time it\u2019s been asked. The one about her being the Billie Jean King of horse racing.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, geez,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
After a brief pause, she continued, \u201cI guess I\u2019m not totally comfortable in that space yet because that\u2019s just not how I function. I realize somebody\u2019s name has to go in the program \u2026 but it\u2019s everyone in the barn doing the work that makes all this happen, so I wasn\u2019t swinging a racket by myself out there.<\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely understand what it means to people and what it\u2019s meant to other women and young girls or young boys to do something for the first time and that has probably taken me the last year to get. \u2018OK, now I understand what it means.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
Arcangelo followed up the Belmont with a victory in the Travers, Saratoga\u2019s signature summer event. <\/p>\n
That was a first, too, as Antonucci became the first female trainer to win the Travers since Mary Hirsch in 1938.<\/p>\n
But none of this means she\u2019s interested in turning her stable into an all-female enclave.<\/p>\n
Betting on the Belmont Stakes 2023? <\/p>\n
\u201cI employ anyone [who] wants to work hard, to put the horse\u2019s well being ahead of theirs and just have a commitment to the horse,\u201d Antonucci said. \u201cTheir gender is secondary. So whether they\u2019re young, old or whatnot, my focus is always the horse, them loving on the horse, and then we make everything else happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for what\u2019s happening with Arcangelo? Well, you know \u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s at Lane\u2019s End [Farm] in Kentucky. He\u2019s got his first book of mares covered this year,\u201d Antonucci, 48, said. \u201cListen we promised him \u2026 if you can do these things, then you get to do these things. So he\u2019s doing those things now. We\u2019re excited to see those kids next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of Antonucci\u2019s current connections is Craig Steinhart, co-owner of Whatintheliteral, a 2-year-old filly who won Thursday\u2019s ninth race, The Astoria, at 13-1 odds in her third career start.<\/p>\n
Steinhart told The Post he\u2019s happy Antonucci is starting to get the accolades she has deserved.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s always treated me like I\u2019m someone really important, which I\u2019m not,\u201d he said. \u201cShe\u2019s just very down to earth, honest. When I call her, she responds. She\u2019s just terrific.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very happy for her success but she hasn\u2019t changed at all from when I first met her and there was no Belmont and no Travers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
