One of the most successful Thoroughbred trainers in racing today, and a former barrel racer, Cherie DeVaux of Lexington, Kentucky, has established herself as a trailblazer in a sport historically dominated by men. She is the only woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner, and the second to capture the Belmont Stakes, both with the three-year-old Golden Tempo. After beginning her career under Hall of Fame trainer Chad Brown, DeVaux launched her own stable and quickly rose to national prominence. Her horses have earned victories in prestigious graded stakes races across North America, and she has become known for her horsemanship, attention to detail, and commitment to the welfare and development of elite racehorses. Her success has inspired a new generation of women pursuing careers in the Thoroughbred industry.
