Golden Tempo Wins Belmont, DeVaux Makes History

Golden Tempo just shattered history by winning the 158th Belmont Stakes, becoming the second woman in four years—and the first ever to win multiple Triple Crown races—to train a Triple Crown contender. Jockey Jose Ortiz guided him to a thrilling six-to-one upset over Commandment, completing a historic sweep after his Kentucky Derby win. With the Preakness skipped, Golden Tempo joins a rare club of Derby-to-Belmont winners without running in the middle race. The race, held at Saratoga Race Course for the final time before renovations, was a hometown triumph for trainer Cherie DeVaux, who celebrated with her community. Golden Tempo’s time of 2:03.49 proved he belongs among the elite, while Ortiz’s brother’s horse, Renegade, finished third. The win paid $14 to win, $7.32 to place, and $3.88 to show.
