The revocation of not less than three years and a $50,000 fine recommended by the hearing officer in mid-2021 and ordered by the commission followed an eight-day hearing that stretched over months during a pandemic. A temporary restraining order put the penalty on hold pending Rice's appeal.
Rice was charged on Nov. 29, 2019, with knowingly receiving improper access to the confidential names and information about horses entered in New York overnight races before entries closed, helping her decide whether to enter horses from her own stable; and paying substantial sums of money for the information. Rice contends payments to officials were Christmas gifts.
Stop corruption at every level imagine if people only knew.
