Trainer Cherie DeVaux welcomed America’s Best Racing to join her for the journey on Kentucky Derby day May 2 at Churchill Downs with talented 3-year-old Golden Tempo. Go behind the scenes with DeVaux from relaxing with friends and family in the hours leading up to the race to the quiet moments at the barn, from the walkover with Donna Barton-Brothers to the tense moments before the race, and from the thrill of watching Golden Tempo rally to prevail through putting the historic Derby win in perspective.
DeVaux became the 18th woman to train a starter in the Kentucky Derby and the first to win the famed run for the roses for owners-breeders Phipps Stable and Vincent Viola’s St. Elias Stables. Golden Tempo closed with a powerful rush to complete a last-to-first comeback win, collaring runner-up Renegade in the closing strides under winning jockey Jose Ortiz for a mesmerizing upset victory at 23-1 odds.
