Overview
- The Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday ended with José Ortiz winning on Golden Tempo and his brother Irad Ortiz Jr. placing second on Renegade.
- Yankees rookie Elmer Rodríguez, who is their cousin, said he was more nervous watching that race than during his MLB debut and that he started crying.
- Rodríguez, a 22-year-old right-hander who debuted last week, allowed two runs in four innings against the Rangers and is lined up for a second start Tuesday, according to the Post.
- The Post also reports he may be sent down soon because Carlos Rodón is expected to return from elbow surgery after one more rehab start in the minors.
- Trainer Cherie DeVaux became the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner with Golden Tempo, a milestone noted in race coverage.
