Royal Ascot Renames Platinum Jubilee Stakes In Honor Of Queen Elizabeth II

In memory of Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, the feature Group One race on the final day of Royal Ascot (June 24), The Platinum Jubilee Stakes, has been renamed The Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.

Sir Francis Brooke Bt. His Majesty's Representative at Ascot, said:

“The Late Queen's close association with Ascot Racecourse was well known throughout the world, but no race at the Royal Meeting previously carried the name of Queen Elizabeth II.

“His Majesty The King has approved the renaming of the Platinum Jubilee Stakes to The Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. This will both honor Her Late Majesty in perpetuity and maintain the connection with the three Jubilees celebrated since the inception of the race as the Golden Jubilee Stakes in 2002.”

Lawsuit Filed Against Trainer Chad Brown Over Alleged Domestic Violence Incident

The victim of an alleged domestic violence incident has filed a lawsuit against trainer Chad Brown in the New York Supreme Court in Saratoga County, reports The Daily Gazette.

According to local reporting of the incident from August of 2022, Brown is accused of pushing a female victim down a stairway, pinning her to the floor and choking her before pushing her out of the house. Brown said the woman broke into his residence and he was defending himself.

Brown was arraigned on Aug. 18 on a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of breathing and posted bail after pleading not guilty. On Nov. 14, he avoided trial by agreeing to a reduced charge of harassment in the second degree, a violation, and Brown was ordered to stay arrest-free for a year and is subject to a two-year order of protection that prohibits him from contacting the alleged victim.

This lawsuit seeks compensation for the alleged victim's injuries and emotional pain, as well as medical costs and lost income. The amount of damages sought exceeds the jurisdictional limits of lower courts, so the lawsuit was elevated to the Supreme Court.

Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that Brown “intentionally attacked her, physically violently assaulting, battering, pushing, and striking her,” pushed her down a flight of stairs, choked the plaintiff and pushed her “violently out the front door.”
