Female trainer makes history with Belmont Stakes win with Arcangelo: 'It's amazing'

Jena Antonucci is the first woman trainer to win a Triple Crown race.

Jena Antonucci made history this past weekend as the first female trainer to win a Triple Crown race, when her horse, Arcangelo, overcame 7-1 odds and beat out the competition in the marathon race. 

It didn't take long for Antonucci's reaction to the big win to go viral either, as video was widely shared showing her shifting from jumping and shouting ecstatically to shedding tears of joy as the gray colt charged down the lane to the wire.

On Twitter, fans sang her praises, telling her she would go down in history as a horse racing legend. 

"This is awesome," tweeted Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy.

When the race had ended, Antonucci was at a loss for words, telling the FOX broadcast, "I don’t have words right now. We’re just soaking all this in and just so proud of the horse right now… If you can’t get a seat at the table, make your own table."

After the excitement of the victory settled, she joined Fox News' Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino in-studio Monday to relive the moment.

"It's amazing," she said, jokingly remarking that she's thankful the race's outcome is the same every time she replays the recording.

When asked what is special about the horse, she replied, "Everything. He's one of those kinds of horses that just engages with everyone else around him. He sees you, he knows where a camera is… he's such a ham, honestly."
