Golden Tempo has won the Kentucky Derby at odds of 23-1 to make Cherie DeVaux the first woman to train the winner of the opening leg of the Triple Crown. DeVaux is just the second female trainer to win any Triple Crown race after Jena Antonucci won with Arcangelo in the 2023 Belmont Stakes. Jockey Jose Ortiz won the Derby for the first time in his 11th try. Renegade was second, with brother Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard, and long shot Ocelli was third. DeVaux during the week shifted from downplaying what it would mean to be the first woman to train a Derby winner to understanding she’s a role model to girls who might want to follow in her footsteps someday.
