Julie Krone (b. July 24, 1963, in Benton Harbor, Michigan) stands as one of the most accomplished jockeys in the history of American thoroughbred racing and a pivotal figure in the integration of women into elite professional sports. Beginning her riding career in the early 1980s, Krone rapidly distinguished herself in a field that had long resisted female participation, accumulating more than 3,500 victories over the course of her career. Her most celebrated achievement came in 1993, when she became the first woman to win a Triple Crown race, capturing the Belmont Stakes aboard Colonial Affair - a milestone that fundamentally challenged prevailing assumptions about gender and physical competition in racing. In 2000 she became the first woman inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, and she later added the distinction of being the first female jockey to win a Breeders' Cup race.
