Golden Tempo Triumphs Again in Belmont Stakes

Golden Tempo proved his Kentucky Derby win was not a fluke by clinching victory at the Belmont Stakes, held at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. This significant win makes trainer Cherie DeVaux the second woman in history to train a winner of the third leg of horse racing's Triple Crown. She follows in the footsteps of Jena Antonucci, who achieved this feat in 2023.

Jockey Jose Ortiz guided Golden Tempo to victory with a remarkable late surge, coming from behind to overtake the competition. Commandment finished in second place, with Renegade securing third. Both Commandment and Renegade had also competed in the Derby but bypassed the Preakness Stakes, opting for the longer break before the Belmont.
