June 6 (UPI) -- Golden Tempo, winner of the Kentucky Derby, captured the 158th running of the Belmont Stakes for 3-uear-olds on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course in New York.
"Golden Tempo is amazing," trainer Cherie DeVaux said. "It's so meaningful because the town gets to celebrate along with all of us."
DeVaux became the first woman to train two Triple Crown winners -- in this case with the same horse in the same year. She already made history as the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner when Golden Tempo crossed the finish first May 2. He skipped the Preakness Stakes.
"He was very much improving," the Sarasota Springs, N.Y., native she said of the colt, who came from near the back of the pack to win by a length. Commandment finished second and Renegade was third.
