Julie
Krone, thoroughbred racing's all-time leading female
jockey, became the first woman to win a Triple Crown
race on June 5, 1993, when she rode Colonial Affair to a
2 1/4-length victory in the 125th running of the Belmont
Stakes.
Krone, who has had three other Belmont mounts, is the
only woman ever to ride in the oldest of the Triple
Crown events. In her non-winning Belmont appearances she
finished ninth aboard Subordinated Debt in 1991, sixth
on Colony Light in 1992, and second on Star Standard in
1995. |

Belmont Stakes aboard Colonial Affair. |
