Truly, Mike.
And Sheree Deveaux is with nephew Mallory, daughter Reagan, husband David, sister Adrienne.
And, and for you, family is everything.
This race has been everything.
You're the first woman to train the winner of a Kentucky Derby winner.
Breathe it in and try and tell me how it feels.
I, I don't even have any words right now.
I, I just can't.
just so, so, so happy for Golden Tempo.
Jose did a wonderful job, masterful job at getting him there.
He's so far out of it, and he has had so much faith in this horse.
And I wanna say thank you to the team of St. Elias and Phipps Stable for giving me the opportunity to be here.
This is a, a great historic ownership stable who have so much history in this race.
You're breaking history today.
What, what does that mean to you?
I don't I honestly don't know.
I'm just I'm glad that I could be a representative of all women everywhere, that we can do anything we set our minds to.
Hear, hear.
And you have been a fantastic tribune for that these last few years.
When you were watching the early stages of the race, Sheree, he was dead last.
What was going through your mind?
I was actually more focused on the pace that was in front of him.
there was plenty in front, and I was just hoping Jose worked the trip out when they all started coming back to him at the top of the stretch.
I've just gotta ask, Reagan.
Yeah.
How does it feel to see Mom do this?
amazing.
It's truly an honor.
a lot of tears, if you can't tell.
especially being from Kentucky, this is truly an honor.
And just really cool to watch, and I'm really proud of you.
I really am.
Yeah.
Family Deveaux.
Yeah.
This horse has done you proud, and vice versa.
Well done.
Well done.
