The three-year-old colt again made history, coming from behind to win Saturday's Belmont Stakes.

That made Golden Tempo a two-leg triple crown race champion this season, after not running the Preakness Stakes five weeks ago.

In the first leg in May, trainer Cherie DeVoe became the first woman to win the Kentucky Derby, a race Golden Tempo won from the back of the pack.

This weekend's victory came on home turf for DeVoe, as the Belmont was run for the third and final time in her hometown of Saratoga Springs, while its usual downstate home undergoes a half-billion-dollar renovation.

Local track regular Ann Carey said she'd bet on DeVoe's horse.
