Horse Profile: Golden Tempo

At 23-1 odds, Golden Tempo and jockey Jose Ortiz made an improbable last-to-first move in the Kentucky Derby, beating out Renegade (and Jose's brother, Irad) in the final strides.

Golden Tempo made history for Cherie DeVaux, who became the first-ever female trainer to win the Kentucky Derby. Connections opted to bypass the Preakness in order to give Golden Tempo more time to recover.

Golden Tempo silenced doubters in the Belmont Stakes, replicating his last-to-first surge from the Derby to earn his second Triple Crown race victory.

Golden Tempo co-owner Vinnie Viola (St. Elias Stable) also owns the NHL's Florida Panthers.
