Golden Tempo, trained by Cherie DeVaux, won the 152nd Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, marking a historic moment as DeVaux became the first woman to train a Derby winner. Ridden by Jose Ortiz, Golden Tempo came from behind to secure victory at odds of 23-1 and claimed a purse of $3.1 million. DeVaux's achievement is significant, as she is only the second female trainer to win any Triple Crown race, following Jena Antonucci's success with Arcangelo in the 2023 Belmont Stakes. The race saw 18 horses compete after Great White was scratched just before the event due to an incident in the paddock. Renegade finished second, earning $1 million, while Ocelli, a longshot, took third place with a prize of $500,000. DeVaux expressed pride in being a role model for women in the sport, emphasizing that women can achieve anything they set their minds to.
