After being vanned back to the Brown barn on the Keeneland backstretch, Domestic Spending was stabilized and later transported to Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital with a police escort. On Sunday, Brown surmised on Twitter that the incident occurred at the break and worsened until Flavien Prat was able to get him pulled up near the half-mile pole.

In his Tuesday update, Brown tweeted: “He is comfortable, bright and has a great appetite. We are optimistic to release him next week to our local farm where we are committed to provide him with a pampered life in beautiful pastures.”

Owned by Seth Klarman's Klaravich Stables, Domestic Spending won the GI Hollywood Derby and Saratoga Derby Invitational as a 3-year-old before adding victories in the GI Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic (dead-heat) and GI Manhattan S. last season. He was making his first start since finishing runner-up in a paceless renewal of the GI Mr. D S. (formerly Arlington Million) in August 2021.
