Golden Tempo Wins Kentucky Derby, Cherie DeVaux Makes History

Cherie DeVaux etched her name in racing history on Saturday, becoming the first female trainer to win the Kentucky Derby. Her horse, Golden Tempo, surged from the back of the pack to secure the victory.

Jockey Jose Ortiz guided Golden Tempo to a stunning victory at Churchill Downs, overcoming 23-1 odds. The win marked Ortiz's first Kentucky Derby title and a historic milestone for DeVaux, who started her own stable in 2018.

The 152-year history of the Kentucky Derby finally saw a female trainer stand in the winner's circle. Despite the presence of seasoned veterans, DeVaux and her husband, fellow trainer David Ingordo, achieved the impossible. esporist.org
