The race was named in honor of Deputed Testamony, the 1983 Preakness Stakes winner and the last Maryland-bred champion three-year-old colt. Deputed Testamony was the son of Traffic Cop out of the mare Proof Requested. Traffic Cop was standing at Bonita Farm, so Deputed Testamony was bred, born, raced, retired, stood and pensioned at the same farm. He was bred and owned by his trainer, J. William (Bill) Boniface.

On Preakness Day 1984, Deputed Testamony won the City of Baltimore Handicap and set a new track record for miles in 1:40.40. That race was the colt's final start. He was then retired to stud duty at Bonita Farm. He made twenty trips to the post in his career and won eleven times with four seconds and earnings of $674,324. Deputed Testamony became one of Maryland's top sires. He was pensioned from stud duty after the 2004 breeding season and died at Bonita Farm on September 18, 2012 at 32 years of age.
