SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – At 7:30 Sunday morning, Cherie DeVaux stood in front of a couple dozen media types and talked all things Golden Tempo (Curlin). There was plenty to say.Moments before, she had brought the big horse out of his stall and Golden Tempo stood in the shedrow, gawked at the horse racing paparazzi and hammed it up. While DeVaux held him with a shank, Golden Tempo stuck his long neck past his trainer and took a bite out of the blanket of white carnations that was draped over a rail.That's what the winner of the GI Belmont Stakes gets, and Golden Tempo figured he could do whatever he wanted with his flowers.Golden Tempo stamped himself as the best 3-year-old in the land just over 12 hours earlier when he won the 158th running of the Belmont and gave DeVaux another piece of racing history to put on her resume.Five weeks ago, DeVaux became the first woman trainer to win the GI Kentucky Derby and Golden Tempo made her the first female conditioner to win two Classic races in the same year when he won the Belmont by 1 1/2 lengths.And, to make Saturday even sweeter, she saddled Englishman (Maxfield) to victory in the GI Woody Stephens three races before the Belmont, making her the first woman to train two Grade I winners on the same card.“Having horses run on Saturday afternoons the way those two did yesterday makes your career,” DeVaux said during the press gaggle at her barn on the Oklahoma Training Track. “We do this every day. We have a stable full of horses and we give the same attention to those as we do with these two. Going out and winning on the big days, that is what we work for.”Cherie DeVaux barn Sunday morning | Sarah AndrewDeVaux was scheduled to fly back to her base in Lexington Sunday night and then make a three-hour drive to Ellis Park in the early morning hours of Monday. Golden Tempo is headed back to Kentucky on Monday, and he'll get a little down time there before resuming training at Keeneland, where he has been based since April.Racing's newest superstar will be pointed to the Aug. 1 $500,000 GII Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga at 1 1/8 miles. The ultimate summer goal will be the $1.25-million GI Travers Stakes on Aug. 29.“[Saratoga] is a track we know he likes,” DeVaux said about the colt's summer plans. “With a horse like him, we just try to keep all the factors we know will work in his favor.”Another thing working in Golden Tempo's favor is the classic 1 1/4-mile distance. By winning the Derby and Belmont–which was being run for the third and final time at Saratoga (it will return to its normal distance of 1 1/2 miles when the race goes back to Belmont Park in 2027) Golden Tempo is two-for-two at the trip.He has a huge advantage over the rest of the division because of that.“He is at the top right now, and we are right at the halfway mark,” DeVaux said. “There is a lot that can still happen.”Golden Tempo and jockey Jose Ortiz, as they did in the Derby, rallied from last place to get the win, although this field was only nine horses compared to 18 in the Derby. And the team had to overcome a much slower pace than they got in the Derby to get to the Saratoga winner's circle.“He is a very laid-back colt with a lot of confidence,” DeVaux said. “He has come a long way. He looks like a fit racehorse, and we have to maintain that going into the Jim Dandy.”Plans for some of the horses that Golden Tempo vanquished in the Belmont are yet to be decided. Trainer Brad Cox, whose Commandment (Into Mischief) finished second, said he would wait to evaluate his horse before making any commitments.Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher said Sunday it “was too early to say” what might be next for third-place finisher Renegade (Into Mischief), who was beat in the Belmont by 5 1/4 lengths.Renegade also lost to Golden Tempo in the Derby, coming up a neck short.Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott said that fourth-place finisher Chief Wallabee (Constitution) came out of the Belmont in good shape but said “it looked like it yesterday” when asked if his horse had distance limitations.“We'll probably take a step backwards, I suppose,” Mott said, sitting aboard his pony Rocky during training on the Oklahoma. “I have no excuse. Usually, you can't make them do something they can't do.”Chief Wallabee | Sarah AndrewMott also saw his horse defeated soundly by Golden Tempo in the Kentucky Derby. You get no argument from him as to who the best 3-year-old in the country is.“Unless you want to go for Englishman,” he said with a laugh. “At the classic distance, I would have to say [Golden Tempo] is. He finished pretty strong in the Belmont.”The post Summer Plans Include Return Trip to the Spa for Golden Tempo appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
