Good morning, BBN!
It was a wild race for the Kentucky Derby this year as we saw Golden Tempo come from the back of the pack down the home stretch to pull off an upset win over the heavy favorite this week in Mike Repole’s horse, Renegade.
Alongside an impressive win for Goldn Tempo, it also marks the first Derby win for jockey, Jose Ortiz, as well as the first female trainer to win a Kentucky Derby in Cherie DeVaux.
In sports, we love upsets, and this is exactly what this race produced. What a win, what a comeback, what a win.
It is very hard in any situation to make history in something that has been going on for so long. Well, we all got to witness history tonight in the 152nd Kentucky Derby.
Until next year, Churchill Downs.
