Bio
Golden Tempo won his maiden in his only start as a 2-year-old in his first lifetime start with a last-to-first victory atop a field of 10 in a six-furlong sprint at Fair Grounds on Dec. 20, 2025. He returned against stakes company in his second start when making his 3-year-old debut in the Grade 3 $250,000 Lecomte Stakes going 1 1/16 miles at Fair Grounds on Jan. 17, 2026.
Golden Tempo won his maiden in his only start as a 2-year-old in his first lifetime start with a last-to-first victory atop a field of 10 in a six-furlong sprint at Fair Grounds on Dec. 20, 2025. He returned against stakes company in his second start when making his 3-year-old debut in the Grade 3 $250,000 Lecomte Stakes going 1 1/16 miles at Fair Grounds on Jan. 17, 2026. Sent off as the 2.70-1 favorite in a 10-horse field in the Lecomte, Golden Tempo came from the rear of the field and rallied up the inside in the stretch to get up for a three-quarters of a length win over stablemate Mesquite under jockey Jose Ortiz. The Lecomte was a points race on the Road to the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve, and with his win, Golden Tempo earned 20 qualifying points.
The next race up for Golden Tempo on the Fair Grounds' road to the Kentucky Derby was the $500,000 Grade 2 Risen Star Stakes going 1 1/8 miles on Feb. 14. Golden Tempo chased runaway 1-2 finishers Paladin and Chip Honcho in the stretch and settled for third. As another points race on the Road to the Kentucky Derby, Golden Tempo's third-place finish earned him another 15 qualifying points for a total of 35.
Golden Tempo is trained by Cherie DeVaux. He was bred in Kentucky by the sire Curlin out of the dam Carrumba by Bernardini.
