Cherie DeVaux Makes History as First Female Kentucky Derby Trainer

Golden Tempo, ridden by Jose Ortiz, surged to the front in the final seconds to secure the win. This marks Ortiz's first Derby victory and a monumental career achievement for DeVaux, who is 44 and began her own stable in 2018.

DeVaux, who hails from Saratoga Springs, New York, joins an elite group of trainers including Baffert and Cox. Her husband, David Ingordo, is also a trainer, making this a family affair. noplasticplease.life
