"Golden Tempo broke slowly under jockey Jose Ortiz and trailed the 18-horse field before threading through traffic and unleashing a late charge from the outside to claim the Run for the Roses by a neck."
"Cherie DeVaux, the 44-year-old from Saratoga Springs, New York, is a thoroughbred trainer based in Kentucky who grew up around horses and has a family history in the sport."
"DeVaux joined Jena Antonucci as the second woman to train the winner of a Triple Crown race, and she was just the 18th woman to saddle a horse in the derby in its 152-year history."
Golden Tempo, trained by Cherie DeVaux, won the Kentucky Derby at odds of 24-1, making DeVaux the first woman to achieve this milestone. Jockey Jose Ortiz rode Golden Tempo, who initially trailed the field before making a late charge to win by a neck. The race had 18 horses, with Renegade finishing second and Ocelli third. DeVaux, a thoroughbred trainer since 2018, has over 300 victories and celebrated her historic win with family. The Kentucky Derby is the first leg of the Triple Crown series.
