SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. \u2014 Golden Tempo won the 158th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, capturing the third leg of the Triple Crown five weeks after winning the Kentucky Derby and making more history for trainer Cherie DeVaux.<\/p>\n

With jockey Jose Ortiz aboard, Golden Tempo charged down the stretch at Saratoga Race Course to win the Belmont, holding off Commandment before the finish line at the historic track to win at odds of 6-1. Commandment was second and favorite Renegade third.<\/p>\n

\u201cGolden Tempo is amazing. Jose is amazing,\u201d said DeVaux, who was\u00a0born in Saratoga Springs and began\u00a0her training career there. \u201cI think he needed to do this to kind of show that he was meant to win the Derby and that he is a horse that belongs in that conversation of being one of the top 3-year-olds.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeVaux, after\u00a0becoming the first woman\u00a0to train a Kentucky Derby winner, is the second in four years to do so at the Belmont.\u00a0Jena Antonucci won it with\u00a0Arcangelo in 2023. DeVaux is the first woman to win multiple Triple Crown races.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s overwhelming,\u201d DeVaux said. \u201cAll the credit goes to Golden Tempo, who won the race and Jose did a wonderful job of making it happen. But I\u2019m just so fortunate to be in this position. It\u2019s history-making, and I\u2019ve kind of shied away from it, but I\u2019m really gracious that I am that person.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pace was not nearly as fast as it was at Churchill Downs, yet Golden Tempo still was able to close in time to win the 1 1\/4-mile race in 2:03.49. It didn\u2019t matter, as he was the best in the field of nine horses.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wasn\u2019t going to get that setup as he did in the Derby,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cWe all knew that, and I was a little worried about it. He needed some kind of setup. But today, there wasn\u2019t one and he showed up today and won.\u201d<\/p>\n

Golden Tempo won two-thirds of the Triple Crown after DeVaux and owners\u00a0decided to bypass the Preakness. He is the second horse in as many years to win the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont after not running in the middle jewel.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe made our decision, and we won today and we\u2019re going to be happy about that,\u201d DeVaux said.<\/p>\n

This was the third and final time for the Belmont\u00a0at Saratoga\u00a0in upstate New York while its traditional home on the border of Queens and Long Island is getting\u00a0demolished and rebuilt. The race is set to\u00a0return to Belmont Park\u00a0next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so meaningful,\u201d DeVaux said. \u201cA lot of family here. Saratoga, it\u2019s been wonderful to have such a historic race here. \u2026 It\u2019s so meaningful because the town gets to have this and celebrate it along with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Golden Tempo paid $14 to win, $7.32 to place and $3.88 to show. Commandment paid $7.02 to show and $4.08 to place, while Renegade \u2014 the Derby runner-up \u2014 paid $2.52 to place.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Ortiz said he followed Renegade, ridden by older brother Irad, just as he did in the Derby. It worked out just the same in the first Saturday in June as the first Saturday in May.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a bouncing a bit today, which made me very happy because I wanted him to be a little bit sharper today,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cYou can see him, he\u2019s very relaxed. He does what I ask him to do. That\u2019s the main thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-owner Vinnie Viola dedicated the race to late friend Dominic DiPrisco, who died Wednesday at age 70.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you\u2019re in heaven, and I love you and this race is for you,\u201d Viola said. \u201cIt means more than I can express in words right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ortiz won the Belmont Stakes for the second time, nine years after his first aboard Tapwrit in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just wanted him to get better and keep winning these kinds of races,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cWe\u2019re very happy with him. It\u2019s all about him.\u201d<\/p>\n
