LEXINGTON, Kentucky, Sept. 14, 2023 — Thoroughbred trainers Jena Antonucci and Katie Miranda are the featured speakers Saturday in a free EquineEd lecture at the Kentucky Horse Park. The event will be held at 12 p.m. in the Hall of Champions barn.
On June 10, Jena Antonucci became the first female trainer to win a Triple Crown race by winning the Belmont Stakes with Archangelo. Ten weeks later, she showed the world it was no fluke by winning the $1.25 million Travers Stakes, becoming the first female trainer to win that prestigious race since 1938.
Antonucci and Miranda are co-owners of horseOlogy, a full-cycle Thoroughbred training and ownership organization based in Ocala, Florida that handles everything related to Thoroughbred breeding, training and racing.
