José Ortiz won the 152nd Kentucky Derby aboard Golden Tempo, the 23-1 longshot from last place. His older brother Irad, on Renegade, finished second by a neck. A sibling one-two photo at any Triple Crown race is a generational rarity, and the Ortiz brothers' embrace at the wire was the broadcast's image of the day [1][2].

The paper led the Derby coverage with Cherie DeVaux becoming the first woman to train a Derby winner. The brother frame is the second story on the same race. José passed eleven horses in the final eighth of a mile to outfinish Irad — the move that began at the three-sixteenths pole and finished a length and a half ahead of the runner-up's stride [3].

José also became the ninth jockey ever to complete the Kentucky Oaks-Kentucky Derby double in the same weekend, after winning the Oaks Friday on Always a Runner. The personal Triple Crown milestone — Derby, Preakness, Belmont individually across his career — is now visible in the Pimlico setup [4]. NBC's broadcast was the most-watched Derby on record, with the Ortiz family scene in the winner's circle running across the post-race window [5].

Irad, the older brother and the more decorated of the two by lifetime stakes wins, spoke of the loss in the post-race scrum. "He's my brother," he said. "I'm happy for him."
