Golden Tempo Claims Belmont Stakes

Golden Tempo just shattered Triple Crown dreams — no, wait, actually, they did something even bigger: they won the Belmont Stakes, sealing their legacy with a jaw-dropping victory at Saratoga. Jockey Jose Ortiz piloted them to a thrilling win over Commandment, clocking in at 2:03.49 — slower than the Derby, but still pure magic. Trainer Cherie DeVaux made history as the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner — and now she’s got a Belmont champ too. Skip the Preakness? No problem — Golden Tempo’s grit and grace turned that into a statement, not a setback. And hey, Saratoga’s got the track, not the usual Belmont Park — but this win? It’s timeless.
