&lt;br /&gt;
The orders are temporary and intended to make sure that affected horses undergo greater scruitiny to ensure that they are not at risk when allowed to return to racing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In my opinion, this is a novel and aggresive approach to safeguard horses and get to the bottom of relevant issues.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the nature of the discussion, this briefing is limited to ARCI Member regulatorr personnel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a briefing for all ARCI Member regulatory personnel so everyone understands what is going on in Oklahoma and to consider the applicability of utilize a similar approach within their own jurisdictions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are appreciative to Oklahoma's Interim Executive Director Amanda English for her willingness to provide a full briefing.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This webinar is limited to ARCI Member regulatory personnel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Registration is required.&amp;nbsp; There is no cost.</description><pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2026 13:07 -0400</pubDate><publishDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2026 13:07
