‘Never Give Up’: Trainer Jena Antonucci Makes History in the 155th Belmont Stakes

[@janedunn3086]

I backed Arcangelo because he had the pedigree to run the distance. And Jena Antonnuci - you are outstanding. 🐎🐎🐎

[@alanalan-uc4zb]

that is one tough horse. the deal of the century for ebbert. arcangelo bought at a yearling sale for $35,000. the son of the great arrogate who has passed on.

[@johnb5231]

Watching her during the race was incredible! She was riding her horse down the stretch. Masterful ride by Javier. Bravo to all involved. 👏👏

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

Such positive energy...she impacts the whole team...not a buckle in her speech...confident, yet humble. "Make your own table..." i'll remember that.

[@BatangSlapsoil]

The trust she had for Javi was overwhelming

[@PaulSmith-tn4yu]

Congratulations Jena and team and Arcangelo for an amazing performance. You just beat a lot of expensive horses. Even though I thought Forte or Tapit Trice would win I am very happy you won, well deserved. Just won the Travers, WOW, Fantastic.

[@paulrichards6894]

love stories like this....don't want the same people winning all the time

[@jrock2460]

Terrific piece right here. Great work. One thing that isn’t getting enough attention. THE MIGHTY ARROGATE! Gone way too soon, an appalling tragedy. Sired a KY Oaks winner (Secret Oath) and now a Belmont Stakes winner (Arcangelo) in only 3 crops before his untimely passing May 31, 2020. The question of “what could have been” will go unanswered forever. Might have ended up being one of the most prolific sires of all time. Team Jena is great, the story is wonderful, but ARROGATE must always be remembered and acknowledged!

The emotion from Jena during the stretch run brought chills to my spine... this is what the sport of horse racing needed. Amazing!

[@jam4355]

That is what sheer exhilaration, shock, relief, and celebration look like 😁

[@carlosmorales-lk2ry]

Lo mas inteligente que tuvo Castellanos fue poner el ejemplar en centro de cancha en la recta final. Genial Paisano.

[@markgraham8144]

I would watch this for life its like a dream

[@jlove8445]

As a long time fan and owner and breeder of thoroughbreds I love this story and watching this video made me even more happy for the connections of Arcangelo. Congratulations!

[@dingdong5601]

3:11 My favorite part is right before the race starts she says "be safe". You can barely hear it but you see her lips say it.

[@ivorscrotumic3556]

If ever a horse has been 'cheered home'. That was wonderful to watch & a privilege too. Congrats to all involved.

[@braepiazza8935]

Her words will never leave me❤🐎🌹🌹🍀

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Still waiting to see her whole reaction and little observations for the whole race, but the few times I've watched her stretch run call I get ridiculously emotional every time. And I have no idea who she is. Such a special race in the annals of its history.

[@donaldduncan7095]

Jena's reaction is what this game is all about, whether you're a trainer, owner, jockey or player that just made a big money score, there is no thrill in life like it. 😉

[@Sotbote]

Me 👍

[@joseguedes2498]

This is the one of a kind team. Love her story in building confidence in people. This race will be in History forever. Great Jena!!

[@Jack-pu4rf]

I'm so pleased for her I even got a little bit emotional when the horse was leading this was a great moment for horse racing, she and her team deserve this win, I would like to wish them more luck in the future, 🌹

[@DarwinTorres-ju5zj]

Debe de ser una emoción indescriptible cada vez que veo la repetición lloro de emoción 😭😭😭😭🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪

[@lorifrancesconi3519]

Been watching racing a very long time and have never seen anything as brilliant as this winning reaction.

Great ambassador for racing. Someone for young girls starting their love of horse racing to look up to. Well spoken, loves her team and the horses. Congratulations 🎉!

[@kateposega8098]

Congratulations! This was incredible! It brought tears of joy to my eyes

[@Tech-ru8lo]

I love this video and i love Jena's raw emotion. My favorite part is when Jena goes to hug the owner. Just pure raw emotion. Pure joy. Priceless.

[@errolhylton3615]

My heart is full of joy for you congrats.

Watching this from the UK...... confessing to tears... what an achievement, you must all be so proud and rightly so ❤️

[@eliexercaraballo1648]

Couldn't happen to a better group, Jena and John are the best group by far, she seems like a very nice lady then put everything together and you have a winner.

[@clayoreilly4553]

Powerful!! These people do love their horses, don't they? What a beautiful horse.

[@caseG80]

Every single horse is loved no matter the level they run there's a story behind each the press or msm wants to paint a different picture there's people who want to destroy horse racing and it's unfortunate many don't understand the passion involved on every backside of tracks. Cheeers

[@clayoreilly4553]

@@caseG80 I think a majority of people would like to see horse racing made better in order to improve the lives and health of the horses. A good start would be to agree to not race horses until their bones have fully matured at 5 - 6 years of age. That one change would eliminate a lot of the breakdowns on the track and give horse racing a much better reputation, I believe.

[@robinlathim8221]

So so proud of you Jenna, and your team, and Javier. Congratulations, well deserved! ❤

[@triple_aofficial5306]

This is one of the best horses and is my favorite part. Congratulations on the victory for Arcangello and his compact team also to Jena Antonucci, the trainer.

[@moviepotter]

Wonderful to see a woman horse trainer win. And what she said about if you cannot find a sit at a table make your own, she is right. I will remember that. And a Gray horse too, they usually do not win Give Arcangelo a huge hug and a big dinner. And his jockey, he was wonderful.

[@pauloverland8816]

i loved how Manny comforted Jena at the finish, she needed a hug

Arcangelo was a fantastic race horse. For the past 8 years he is one of the few who won another race after winning an american classic. No doubt he wouldve won the BC Classic.

[@elenamanley5509]

This woman is really inspiring. I read that she kissed the horse after the race. I was hoping for footage of that. I had to leave the house as soon as he crossed the finish line and didn't get to see the presentation or anything.
