Golden Tempo proved that his Kentucky Derby win was not a fluke.

In a performance reminiscent of his victory in Louisville five weeks ago, Golden Tempo rallied from last to first to win the Belmont Stakes on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course. 

Golden Tempo's win already has started the speculation: Could he have won the Triple Crown had he raced in the Preakness Stakes?

"It's not something I want to think about," DeVaux told FOX's Tom Rinaldi after the race. "We made our decision, and he won today, and we're going to be happy about that."

(I think it was totally called for..you can't do that. What's wrong with you..fish in the microwave! NO!)
