Cherie DeVaux returns to familiar Saratoga for the Belmont after her historic Kentucky Derby‎

Cherie DeVaux knows Saratoga well. After two years, DeVaux stopped pursuing a degree and took a chance on her passion for horse racing, where she started as a hot walker for late trainer Chuck Simon. On Saturday, DeVaux won’t be crossing Union Avenue as a hot walker, or riding and working them out on the Oklahoma Training Track.
