Miguel Clement has been thoroughly prepared to succeed his father, Christophe, at the helm of the Clement stable, although the transition occurred sooner than anyone desired or expected, with Christophe’s death in May 2025 at age 59.

Miguel came aboard as a key assistant to his father in 2017 after earning valuable and diverse experience working underneath trainer Hugo Palmer in England and Michael de Kock in South Africa and Dubai. He is a graduate of Duke University and the two-year Godolphin Flying Start program.

With the Clement stable, Miguel has been an integral part of the careers of West Point’s major stakes winners Atomic Blonde, Carson’s Run, Decorated Invader, Dontlookbackatall, Gal in a Rush, Kertez, Les Reys and Parnac.
