Cherie DeVaux after winning the 2026 Kentucky Derby

Cherie DeVaux became the first female to train a Gr1 Kentucky Derby winner when Golden Tempo rallied from last to edge Renegade in Saturday’s 152nd running of the Churchill Downs classic.

Highlights:

• GOLDEN TEMPO comes off the pace to win the 152nd Kentucky Derby!
• Jockey Jose Ortiz scores a Kentucky Derby & Oaks riding double.
• Trainer Cherie DeVaux becomes the 1st female trainer to saddle a Derby winner.
• The Kentucky Derby was broadcast live by GallopTV to SA racing fans for the first time in close on a decade.

"Ridden by Jose Ortiz, ALWAYS A RUNNER made a move around the final turn and needed every bit of the stretch to pass Bob Baffert's EXPLORA and and Michael McCarthy's MEANING before the finish line of the 1 1/8-mile race."
