16Deterministic

Trainer Christophe Clement has had a major presence in most major races in the United States in his career, but not the Kentucky Derby. Deterministic could be a horse to change that.

Bred by Hinkle Farms in Kentucky, Deterministic was a $625,000 Keeneland Yearling Sale. He is raced by St. Elias Stable, one of the partners in champion 2022 juvenile Forte, along with Ken Langone, C. Steven Duncker, and Vicarage Stable.

Deterministic is by Liam’s Map, a top-class racing son of Unbridled’s Song who has made a good impression as a sire with horses such as Colonel Liam, Juju’s Map, and Wicked Whisper. His dam Giulio’s Jewel, by Speightstown, is a granddaughter of Amelia, who produced five stakes winners at stud, mostly on turf.

The progeny of Liam’s Map have an average winning distance below seven furlongs, and though he and damsire Speightstown have produced some horses with stamina, there will be some doubt whether Deterministic’s pedigree will be solid enough for 1 1/4 miles.
