The three-year-old horse now gets a fat stack of cash to take home after crossing the finish line first. This adds to his winnings after he took home the trophy at the Kentucky Derby.
Golden Tempo couldn't capture the Triple Crown because he didn't participate in the Preakness.
"We made our decision and he won today and we're going to be happy about that," trainer Cherie DeVaux, who became the first woman trainer to win the Kentucky Derby, said on the FOX broadcast after the race. She is also now the first woman trainer to win two Triple Crown races.
Commandment was second and Renegade, the 9-5 favorite, finished in third.
