BOULDER - On May 5, 2018, Justify began his journey to become the third horse to win the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing by winning the Kentucky Derby. Elinor Wolf, whose family owned a stake in the champion horse, had to watch from the Colorado Lacrosse locker room due to an exam that day.
"Watching him cross that finish line was really, really awesome. I cried, not going to lie," Wolf said.
Wolf, currently a junior defender for CU women's lacrosse team, then watched Justify win the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, finishing off just the 13th ever Triple Crown.
