Triple Crown winner Justify has UNT connections through Kenny and Lisa Troutt ('85). Their Kentucky-based WinStar Farm is part of the ownership group for the horse, just the 13th in history to win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. “Kenny and I knew immediately when he crossed the wire how special this was,” Lisa told The Dallas Morning News after the Belmont win. “And it was very emotional. It was very moving. I thought, ‘This is what you live for. This is what you dream about if you're in this business.'”
