Send us Fan Mail In this special Plaidcast in Person episode, recorded live at the Kentucky Horse Park, host Piper Klemm sits down with Thoroughbred trainer Cherie DeVaux to discuss her journey in horse racing, her historic accomplishments, and her approach to training at the highest levels of the sport. Based in Kentucky, DeVaux has established herself as a prominent figure in Thoroughbred racing. In 2026, she made history as the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner with Golden Tempo, later capturing the Belmont Stakes with the same colt. She also became the first female trainer to win multiple Grade 1 races on the same day, further cementing her place in racing history. Throughout the conversation, DeVaux shares insights into her career, the dedication required to compete at the highest level, and her philosophy on developing successful racehorses. Her story highlights perseverance, horsemanship, and the growing influence of women in Thoroughbred racing. theplaidhorse.com Thank you so much for joining us today on the Plaidcast.
