Golden Tempo claimed victory in the 2026 Belmont Stakes, held on June 6 at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga, New York. The three-year-old horse surged ahead in the final moments of the race, securing a cash prize of $1.2 million from the total purse of $2 million. This win adds to Golden Tempo's accolades after previously winning the Kentucky Derby. Trainer Cherie DeVaux, who made history as the first woman to win the Kentucky Derby, also became the first female trainer to secure two Triple Crown race victories. The runner-up, Commandment, earned $360,000, while Renegade, the favorite at 9-5 odds, finished third, taking home $200,000. Although Golden Tempo's impressive performance in the Belmont Stakes was noteworthy, he did not compete in the Preakness, preventing him from capturing the Triple Crown title. The Belmont Stakes purse is equal to that of the Preakness Stakes, which also had a total of $2 million distributed among participants, with Napoleon Solo winning the majority of that prize in May.
