Cherie DeVaux Must Decide if Golden Tempo Will Run Maryland's Preakness for Triple Crown Shot
DeVaux said Golden Tempo’s Preakness status will depend on his recovery, as two recent Derby winners skipped the race.
- On Saturday, trainer Cherie DeVaux became the first female trainer to win the Kentucky Derby as Golden Tempo rallied from last place to beat Renegade by a neck in the 152nd Run for the Roses.
- DeVaux, 44, established her own stable in 2018 after serving as an assistant to Chuck Simon and Chad Brown, building $32.9 million in lifetime earnings.
- Jockey Jose Ortiz guided the 23-1 long shot to victory, and DeVaux celebrated Saturday night at Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse while receiving more than 800 congratulatory messages.
- An official from the Preakness invited Golden Tempo to the series' middle jewel, though DeVaux said, "As long as he's in tip-top shape, we'll talk about it."
- The Preakness is set for May 16 at Laurel Park, but recent Derby winners often skip the race due to the demanding two-week turnaround between races.
