GOLDEN TEMPO 152nd Kentucky Derby (2026) | Race Replay

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.

"The 23-1 longshot colt, guided by jockey Jose Ortiz, staged a dramatic comeback to win the 152nd Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, holding off his brother Irad Ortiz Jr. on favorite Renegade while Ocelli took third. The victory made trainer Cherie DeVaux the first woman in 152 years to win the Derby after years of hard work with Phipps Stable. Chaos marked the start when Great White flipped in the gate, but Golden Tempo exploded past tiring leaders in 2:02.45, setting up dreams of a Triple Crown run starting with the Preakness on May 17."
