Churchill Downs' Big Bet to Elevate the Preakness and Revive the Triple Crown

A Horse Racing Nation column argues Churchill Downs Inc.’s $85 million bid to acquire Preakness IP signals a push to restore the Preakness’ prestige and could involve moves like a race reschedule and bigger purses; it critiques Cherwa’s plan while urging concrete, actionable steps from track owners to save the Triple Crown rather than rely on rhetoric.

Golden Tempo Fallout Sparks Call to Rewrite the Triple Crown Calendar

Golden Tempo Fallout Sparks Call to Rewrite the Triple Crown Calendar

The piece argues that Golden Tempo’s decision to skip the Preakness exposes a dated Triple Crown schedule, noting multiple Derby winners bypass the middle leg in recent years. It urges moving the Preakness (and Belmont) to later dates—while keeping Derby, Preakness, and Belmont distances intact—to protect horses’ health, value, and public interest. Cherie DeVaux is praised for her handling, and the author predicts Golden Tempo will target a Belmont at Saratoga, but warns the sport must adapt or lose its star power.

Derby Champion Golden Tempo Skips Preakness to Focus on Belmont

Derby winner Golden Tempo will skip the Preakness to focus on a Belmont Stakes bid in June, trainer Cherie DeVaux said after the Derby win. The decision follows a pattern of Derby winners not racing in the middle leg since 2018 and comes amid ongoing talks about potential changes to the Triple Crown schedule and its TV rights, with Belmont now the likely next target for the colt.

Trailblazing Derby Victory: Cherie DeVaux Becomes First Female Derby Winner's Trainer

Golden Tempo, a 23-1 longshot, charged from last to win the Kentucky Derby, making Cherie DeVaux the first woman to train a Derby winner. Jockey Jose Ortiz edged past his brother Irad Ortiz Jr. as the horse closed strongly; DeVaux says the horse comes first and will decide on the Preakness based on health, with a potential Belmont return linked to her Saratoga roots.

Golden Tempo Considers Preakness Bid as Laurel Hosts Triple Crown’s Second Leg

Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo, trained by Cherie DeVaux, is under consideration for the May 16 Preakness at Laurel Park while Pimlico undergoes reconstruction; the field is expected to be up to 14 starters with decisions due after May 11. Iron Honor is set to run if training goes well for St. Elias Stable and Chad Brown, while Silent Tactic—scratched from the Derby—also remains in the mix, along with a large group of contenders including Cherokee Nation, Chip Honcho, Crude Velocity, Crupper, Express Kid, Napoleon Solo, Taj Mahal, and Talkin.

Preakness Field Seen at 16 Despite Derby Absences

The 151st Preakness may feature up to 16 contenders (the race caps at 14), even with most Derby runners opting out. Derby winner Golden Tempo is the main Derby horse under consideration for Pimlico, while other Derby runners like Renegade and Ocelli are unlikely to race in Baltimore. A mix of established Derby trail players and other hopefuls—such as Napoleon Solo, Crude Velocity, Chip Honcho, Ottinho, and Iron Honor—are being wheeled into Laurel as connections weigh form, health, and timing ahead of the race.

Cherie DeVaux makes history as first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner

Golden Tempo, ridden by Jose Ortiz, pulled off an upset to win the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, making Cherie DeVaux the first woman to train a Derby winner. The 24-1 colt overcame a slow start to surge from the back and edge Renegade by a neck, with Ocelli third, in front of a 150,000-strong crowd. DeVaux, 44, a Saratoga Springs native who started her solo training operation in 2018, has since racked up hundreds of wins, and she cried with joy, saying the historic victory can inspire other women to dream big and pursue their goals in racing.
