Trainer Chad Brown has been sued in New York State Supreme Court in Saratoga County over an alleged domestic violence incident during the Saratoga race meet in 2022, according to the Schenectady (NY) Gazette. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday morning by the same woman in the incident, and alleges that Brown “intentionally attacked her, physically violently assaulting, battering, pushing, and striking her,” then pushing her down a flight of stairs, choking the plaintiff and “pushing her violently out the front door.” Brown was arrested August 17, 2022 and charged with a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of breathing. He later pled guilty to a reduced charge of harrassment, a violation. The story was also reported by the Albany-area NPR station.
