There was some good news and some bad news this week for rising star trainer Cherie DeVaux. On Saturday, she will send out Reagan's Honor (Honor A.P). in the GI Blue Grass Stakes. the horse is coming off a sizzling performance in an allowance race at the Fair Grounds and is expected to run a big race, one that could make him eligible for a start in the GI Kentucky Derby. DeVaux also has Golden Tempo (Curlin) in her barn, and he has already earned enough points to land a spot in the Derby field. DeVaux, who has yet to have a Derby starter, could have two this year. The bad news was that that she had to announce the retirement of her first champion, She's Feels Pretty (Karakontie ({JPN}). To discuss her Derby hopeful and what it is like to lose a star to retirement, DeVaux joined this week's TDN Writers' Room Podcast presented by Keeneland. She was the Gainesway Guest of the Week.
