So, horses hoofing around at Saratoga, New York. The race featured 9 horses, one of which won the Kentucky Derby just a few weeks ago. So the field was small, not a lot of puching or shoving coming out of ther gate.
The jockeys of ccourse wwere all jazzed up to be included and they had a 1 in 9 chance of winning. I'd take that bet, as did quite a few spectators in attendance. The weather was pretty good-not too hot, definitely not raining.
So, off they went and beat a furious path to the finish line. Who pulled it out? Golden Tempo, a horse trained by a woman; not many women trainers pull a win off in such high stakes races. It waas not the first for Ms. DeVaux, and I'm sure she'll be back.
