The sports world is in absolute chaos after a “staggering” history-making moment! A young woman who was once “buried” in pre-med textbooks and terrified of organic chemistry has just stunned the world in a “breathtaking” career pivot that has left experts in total disbelief.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Horses aside, the Kentucky Derby is, at the end of the day, about betting.

Cherie DeVaux is no stranger to it. In 2017, she bet on herself, changing careers from a premed track to pursue a life training horses.

It all paid off Saturday in the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, where her horse Golden Tempo stormed to an improbable victory to make her the first female trainer to win a Derby. The history of the moment wasn’t lost on DeVaux, though to her it was about more than her gender.
