In a historic moment for horse racing, Cherie DeVaux has made history by becoming the first female trainer to win the Kentucky Derby. Her charge, Golden Tempo, delivered a stunning performance, coming from the very back of the field to secure a thrilling victory in the prestigious race.
The 150th running of the 'Run for the Roses' at Churchill Downs lived up to its billing, providing a dramatic spectacle for racing fans. Golden Tempo, ridden with patience and precision, unleashed a powerful burst in the home straight, weaving through traffic to snatch the win in the closing stages.
DeVaux's achievement marks a significant milestone in a sport traditionally dominated by male trainers. Her meticulous preparation and strategic approach to Golden Tempo's campaign culminated in this groundbreaking triumph, earning her a place in the annals of Kentucky Derby history.
The victory for Golden Tempo, a three-year-old colt, sets the stage for the remainder of the American Triple Crown series. Attention will now turn to the Preakness Stakes, the second leg, where Golden Tempo will aim to continue his impressive form.
