"Golden Tempo is the most interesting closer in the field and represents something genuinely rare in this Derby. Trainer Cherie DeVaux is set to become just the 19th female trainer in Kentucky Derby history, and she sends her horse to the gate with a legitimate chance to cash at a big price."
"His running style is straightforward. He drops far back early, waits for the pace to collapse, and launches a sustained late kick. He rallied from last of 10 twice in his first two starts, winning both."
"Golden Tempo's Thoro-graph figures from his Louisiana Derby came back considerably stronger than his Beyer numbers, which suggests the raw talent may be further ahead of the public perception than the headline figures indicate."
The 152nd Kentucky Derby features a 20-horse field with notable longshots Golden Tempo and Potente. Golden Tempo, trained by Cherie DeVaux, is a unique closer with a strong chance at a high payout. His running style involves dropping back early and making a late charge, showing improved speed figures in each race. The horse's pedigree suggests he can handle the distance, and he may benefit from a fast early pace. His Thoro-graph figures indicate he may be more talented than perceived based on Beyer numbers.
