On a Saturday evening in Saratoga Springs, a thoroughbred named Golden Tempo added his name to one of sport's shortest and most storied lists — horses who have won both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. His trainer, a woman born in the very city where the race was run, made history twice over: first as the inaugural female trainer to saddle a Derby winner, and now as only the second to guide a horse to Belmont glory. The victory reminds us that records, like finish lines, exist to be crossed.
