Golden Tempo won the 152nd Kentucky Derby on Saturday, making Cherie DeVaux the first female trainer to achieve this milestone at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. The horse surged down the stretch in the 1 1/8-mile race, finishing ahead of Renegade, who placed second, and Ocelli, a long shot with 70-1 odds, who secured third. DeVaux's victory is particularly significant as she becomes only the second woman to win any Triple Crown race, following Jena Antonucci's success with Arcangelo in the 2023 Belmont Stakes. This win comes in DeVaux's first attempt at the Derby, eight years after establishing her own stable. In a post-race interview, she emphasized her role as a representative for women, stating, “We can do anything we set our minds to.” Jockey Jose Ortiz celebrated his first Derby win after 11 tries, outpacing his brother Irad, who rode Renegade. The race proceeded with 18 horses after Great White was scratched due to an incident before the race.
