Emergency Protective Orders Issued for Horses in OklahomaEmergency Protective Orders Issued for Horses in Oklahoma
Emergency Protective Orders Issued for Horses in Oklahoma
Edited Press Release
Racing regulators from across North America who are members of the Association of Racing Commissioners International (ARCI) met Thursday to consider a new aggressive approach being utilized in Oklahoma to safeguard horses utilizing “Emergency Protective Orders.” This temporarily excludes horses in the care of trainers whose horses have demonstrated an abnormal and materially elevated pattern of severe post-race distress, including repeated incidents in which horses were unable to safely leave the track under their own power.
To date three trainers have received such orders, effectively excluding 171 horses by putting them on the Stewards’ List temporarily. Affected horses are subject to testing, veterinary examination, record production, and individualized regulatory review before they may be considered for removal from that status. The orders provide for the nomination of a “guardian ad litem” to conduct an independent investigation concerning the welfare of the affected horses.
ARCI President Ed Martin said that “using the Stewards’ or Vets’ list to exclude a horse from competition is not new, but Oklahoma’s use of Emergency Protective Orders to temporarily exclude all horses managed by a particular trainer is.
“This is an important new approach that all racing regulators should consider utilizing,” Martin told the regulators.
In Oklahoma such orders are only issued after the Stewards reviewed evidence, reports, video recordings, veterinary opinions, and other information concerning horses that appeared in extreme distress after racing and have determined that there is an abnormal and materially elevated pattern. Each Order states that the pattern was repeated, documented, and sufficiently serious to require immediate regulatory intervention.
The regulators were briefed by Amanda English, Interim Executive Director of the Oklahoma Racing Commission and the commission’s General Counsel Michael Copeland.
English told her colleagues that the stewards relied on veterinary opinions from three veterinarians who concluded that the condition shown by the horses was extreme, unusual, not a normal post-race recovery pattern, materially adverse to equine welfare, and inconsistent with the safe and humane participation of such horses in racing absent further investigation and clearance.
“When horses show signs of extreme distress, we will not look away, we will not minimize it, and we will not wait for another incident before taking action. These emergency measures are designed to protect horses immediately, secure the evidence, and ensure that no horse connected to this matter returns to competition unless and until the Commission is satisfied that it is safe and humane for that horse to race,” she said.
The Order requires mandatory pre-race and out-of-competition testing, mandatory veterinary examinations, immediate post-race examination of any horse showing abnormal recovery or distress, production of veterinary and treatment records, and inspection of relevant barns, stalls, tack rooms, treatment areas, and other enclosure locations. The Order also preserves the Commission’s authority to pursue additional remedies if warranted.

Report: Brant Moving Horses to New Barns
According to a report by David Grening in the Daily Racing Form, owner Peter Brant has taken away approximately 75 percent of his horses that had been trained by Chad Brown and moved them to new trainers. The Brant runners that have been moved will now be trained by Bill Mott, Riley Mott and Miguel Clement.
It is not clear when Brant made the decision to take horses away from Brown. When contacted by text by the TDN Wednesday to address speculation that he was moving on to other trainers, Brant replied, “Not true.”
Brown still has the Brant-owned Lost Horizon (Into Mischief), who will start in Saturday’s Serena’s Song Stakes at Monmouth. A day later, Clement will send out his first Brant-owned runner when George Briggs (Fog of War) goes in an allowance race at the Belmont at the Big A meet.
Brant said he plans to continue to maintain a working relationship with Brown.
“I would continue to give horses to Chad, absolutely,” Brant told the DRF. “I’ve done very, very well with him. I think he’s a great trainer and he’s a good friend.”
What wasn’t immediately clear was why Brant would limit the number of horses Brown trains for him after all the success he has had teaming up with the Eclipse Award-winning trainer. Brant, who was out of racing for more than 17 years, returned to the game full-time in 2017 and he and Brown became as potent a force as any owner-trainer team in the sport. Brown won 26 Grade I stakes with nine individual horses owned solely by Brant or in partnership with others. The list includes three Eclipse Award winners, filly turf champions Sistercharlie (Ire) (Myboycharlie ({Ire}) and Regal Glory (Animal Kingdom) and 3-year-old male champion Sierra Leone (Gun Runner). Brant owned Sierra Leone in partnership with the Coolmore team and Brook Smith.
The biggest star exiting the Brown barn is Gezora (Fr) (Almanzor ({Fr}), who will now be trained by Bill Mott. The winner of last year’s GI Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf, she finished second in the GIII Modesty Stakes at Churchill Downs in her 2026 debut. The winner was the Brown-trained Kathynmarissa (American Pharoah).
Brant told Grening that he wasn’t happy that Gezora had to spot the rest of the field five pounds in the Modesty.
“I don’t want to take a horse that’s won great classic races around the world, including the Breeders’ Cup, and then start picking spots where I’m spotting weight to very competitive horses in their first start of the year,” Brant told the DRF. “Chad knows very well how I feel about the weight and it’s not that important to him. He doesn’t really believe it affects horses that much and I do.”
Brant also told Grening that he made the move because he wants to race more in Kentucky, but Brown also has a Kentucky operation.
