Golden Tempo went from being last in a field of 18 horses in the Kentucky Derby three-quarters of a mile into the race to winning it by a neck. Jose Ortiz saved ground along the rail for much of the trip while long shot Six Speed and other rivals set a hot pace around the track at Churchill Downs. Ortiz began weaving through horses around the far turn but he and Golden Tempo still had 11 horses to pass at the top of the stretch. The jockey who has gotten to know the track and Golden Tempo well charged past everyone to pull off a memorable victory.
