Horse trainer Cherie DeVaux is using her win to inspire girls and women to achieve their dreams. DeVaux joined Jena Antonucci, with Arcangelo in the 2023 Belmont, as the only women to train the winner of a Triple Crown race. She was just the 18th woman to saddle a horse in the Derby in its 152-year history, and the gravity of the situation came into focus for her days earlier when she saw a young girl on the backstretch and realized the impact she is making. "You can dream big, and you can pivot. You can come from one place and make yourself a part of history... I started my career here 22 years ago as a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed exercise rider. And I would not believe that I would be sitting up here today. Never in my life did I think I would," Devaux told reporters. Read more about DeVaux's big, historic win on LEX18.com.
