My story for @HR_Nation on Golden Tempo winning the @KentuckyDerby & his journey from @claibornefarm to @EllisParkRacing to @fairgroundsnola to the @churchilldowns winner's circle, & trainer @reredevaux's start w/ Chuck Simon & faith in herself. horseracingnation.com/news/D…

The horses that finished first (Golden Tempo) and third (Ocelli) in the Kentucky Derby trained and raced at @fairgroundsnola this winter. More validation of the quality of the FG racing surface and the track's 3-year-old prep race series.
🌪️ Everyone in the barn thought they got hustled on Golden Tempo when he first came in. He's got the last laugh as he heads into the gates for Kentucky Derby 152!
Listen for @reredevaux on how they plan on approaching the biggest race of his life (so far).
