DeVaux Makes History with Golden Tempo

Golden Tempo stunned the racing world with a gritty Belmont Stakes win in the rain, cementing his Kentucky Derby triumph as no fluke and launching trainer Cherie DeVaux into history as the first woman to win two Triple Crown legs—and only the second to claim the Belmont. Jockey Jose Ortiz’s patient strategy paid off with a late surge, while DeVaux’s bold decision to skip the Preakness proved pivotal. The crowd roared as Golden Tempo paid $14 to win, silencing doubters and delighting owner and breeder. With over $116 million wagered and this Saratoga finale marking the last edition before Belmont Park’s 2027 return, the victory was both a triumph for the horse and a historic milestone for DeVaux. Commandment took second, Renegade third—making it a day to remember for all connected to Golden Tempo. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
