JULIE KRONE - FIRST WOMAN TO WIN BELMONT

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.

Julie Krone flashes a proud smile after winning the 1993 Belmont Stakes aboard Colonial Affair.
