Golden Tempo roared home to win the 152nd Kentucky Derby on Saturday, making Cherie DeVaux the first woman trainer to capture the iconic race at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

"I don't even have any words right now, I just can't," an emotional DeVaux told broadcaster NBC as she made her way toward the winner's circle. "I'm just so, so happy for Golden Tempo."
