THE WINNER OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY 2026
By Bernard Bujold-
The horse Golden Tempo won the 152nd Kentucky Derby on May 2, 2026. The horse, trained by Cherie DeVaux, crossed the finish line first in what was described as a 23-1 odds longshot victory.
Golden Tempo made history among 19 horses as he pulled off an improbable stretch run from the outside to edge out favorite Renegade (5-1) at the finish line and make Cherie DeVaux the first female trainer to have a horse win the Run for the Roses of the Kentucky Derby. Golden Tempo came from well back in the pack after they came around the final turn, but a comfortable race pace meant most of the field came into the stretch with a chance to win with a great kick. It was jockey Jose Ortiz who was able to get the most out of his horse on that closing stretch to outrun Renegade and the rest of the field to the wire.
My favorite horse RENEGADE, almost wins, but Golden Tempo crossed the line first, and as they say in sports:
"The one who finishes second loses the race..."
