INCREDIBLE: The Second Most Emotional Derby Win Behind Rich Strike... Absolutely Incredible Story Too

While the "alpha" stables were using million-dollar tech to build racing machines, Cherie DeVaux was using patience to build a champion. This isn’t just a win; it’s a masterclass in finesse over raw power.

 

​Golden Tempo was a 23-1 longshot battling cracked heels and focus issues.

 

A traditional trainer might have pushed him until he broke or scratched him entirely. Cherie didn't. She added blinkers to build focus, not force. She treated him like an athlete, and a friend, rather than an engine.

 

This is the "secret sauce" the industry missed. She trained for relaxation, not just speed. That’s why he had the calm to rally from dead last for a 7-length miracle.

 

​She didn’t just train a horse; she out-smarted the entire sport. This is a movie.
