We are incredibly proud to see the late Christophe Clement, a longtime winter resident trainer, deservingly elected to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.

Clement (1965-2025), a native of Paris, France, won 2,576 races with purse earnings of $184,127,449 million (12th all time) in a career that spanned from 1991 through 2025, when he lost his courageous battle with cancer.

Among his top trainees were three-time Eclipse Award winner Gio Ponti; 2014 Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Tonalist, who also won consecutive runnings of the Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) in 2014 and 2015; and 2021 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) winner, Pizza Bianca 🏆

Today, Christophe's son Miguel Clement continues his legacy at Payson. Congratulations to the entire Clement family on this recognition.

The 2026 Hall of Fame Class will be enshrined at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 7, at Fasig-Tipton’s Humphrey S. Finney Sales Pavilion in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The event will be aired live at 🔗 racingmuseum.org.
