Render Judgment

Render Judgment scored his maiden win as a 2-year-old in his second lifetime start on Oct. 27, 2024, at Churchill Downs. He then tried stakes company for the first time and finished fifth in the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs on Nov. 30. His next try was also against stakes competition when he finished his juvenile campaign with a third-place finish in a five-horse field in the $96,000 Gun Runner Stakes on Dec. 21 at Fair Grounds. The Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes and the Gun Runner Stakes were points races on the road to the 2025 Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve, and with his in-the-money stakes finishes, Render Judgment finished his 2-year-old season with four qualifying points.
