Cherie DeVaux Makes History as First Female Kentucky Derby Trainer

Published May 2, 2026 · Updated May 3, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Cherie DeVaux made history on Saturday by becoming the first female trainer to win the Kentucky Derby. Golden Tempo, a 23-1 longshot, surged to the front in the final seconds to secure the victory for DeVaux and jockey Jose Ortiz.

DeVaux, who is 44 and started her own stable in 2018, achieved the feat against a field of top trainers. The victory comes after Golden Tempo spent most of the race behind the pack before making a dramatic move.

Known for her stable's Grade 1 success, DeVaux's win over established legends like Bob Baffert and Brad Cox marks a significant milestone in horse racing history. milkshakeslot.com
