""I don't even have any words right now," DeVaux said on NBC. "So, so, so happy for Golden Tempo. [Jockey] Jose [Ortiz] did a wonderful job, masterful job. He has had so much faith in this horse.""
""I'm glad I could be representative of all women everywhere, that we can do anything we set our minds to.""
""I'm glad I get my lifetime dream achieved," said Jose Ortiz, who also won the Kentucky Oaks on Friday with Always a Runner."
Cherie DeVaux made history as the first female trainer to win the Kentucky Derby with Golden Tempo. The horse rallied from behind to win the race at Churchill Downs, finishing in 2:02.27. Jockey Jose Ortiz, who also achieved his lifetime dream with this victory, expressed gratitude for the win. The race saw Renegade finish second and Ocelli third, while Great White was scratched before the race due to an incident at the starting gate.
