Golden Tempo did not just win the Kentucky Derby. He delivered a movie-script finish.

A longshot horse.
A historic trainer.
A jockey on a two-night tear.
And a brother-vs-brother battle at the wire.
Trainer Cherie DeVaux became the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner.
Jockey Jose L. Ortiz won the Derby aboard Golden Tempo, just one night after winning the Kentucky Oaks with Always a Runner.
And the horse he had to beat?

Renegade, ridden by his brother, Irad Ortiz Jr.

Golden Tempo first.
Renegade second.
History made.

That is why Derby Day never gets old!
