Three-Year License Revocation, $50K Fine For Rice’s ‘Improper and Corrupt Conduct’


Recommended Posts

Linda Rice had her training license immediately revoked for a period of at least three years and was fined $50,000 May 17 after New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) members ruled 5-0 that her years-long pattern of obtaining confidential pre-entry information from Aqueduct racing office workers was “intentional, serious and extensive, and that her actions constituted improper and corrupt conduct…inconsistent with and detrimental to the best interests of horse racing.”

NYSGC chairman Barry Sample underscored that commission members concurred with the penalty recommended by hearing officer Clark Petschek, “but modified the report to specifically reflect that the hearing officer found multiple violations,” which was a determination in the board fining Rice above the $25,000 per-violation penalty guideline in the state's racing rules.

TDN is attempting to contact Rice or her attorney for comment, and/or to find out if a court appeal is in the works. This story will be updated.
