Before GOLDEN TEMPO won the #KentuckyDerby, his dam CARRUMBA had her own graded stakes moment in New York. Here she is winning the 2016 G3 Top Flight Invitational at Aqueduct. Ten years later, her son won the Derby. And the jockey aboard both? Jose Ortiz🌹

Golden Tempo’s yearling groom, Bryce Lee, has quite the reaction to seeing his boy win the Kentucky Derby. Golden Tempo is our 11th Kentucky Derby winner raised @claibornefarm in the last 100 years. Many thanks to a wonderful staff that takes great care of our horses!

Curlin the Classic Sire 🌹🐎

Golden Tempo gives the late champion Bernardini (@DarleyAmerica) back-to-back #KyDerby winners as a broodmare sire, where he's left a phenomenal legacy. Last year's Derby winner Sovereignty and today's victor Golden Tempo both o/o daughters of Bernardini.

With Golden Tempo's #KyDerby win, Curlin (@HillnDaleFarm) completes a personal Triple Crown as a sire. After siring 2013 Belmont winner Palace Malice in his first crop, he added 2016 Preakness winner Exaggerator, 2025 Preakness winner Journalism.

From the Derby Watch pedigree series throughout the winter and spring, here's the pedigree profile on #KyDerby winner Golden Tempo (Curlin - Carrumba, by Bernardini) drf.com/news/kentucky-…
