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.

I kinda take it that some people on here would prefer that no controversial or negative news be posted about on here.

The case has been held up in the courts. It is finally moving forward again after an announcement last week.

From the article:

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.

Attorneys for Rice, Andrew J. Turro and Daniel B. Rinaldi, filed a brief covering 71 pages on Nov. 16 in the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division. The record on review, which contains all documents and transcripts compiled in the case, was filed on the same day and contains seven volumes consisting of 4,398 pages, according to the online record.

But for me, one violation, 18 years ago in 2004, (it actually occurred in 2003) with the evidence of a lot of work put into building/re-building a reputation since then - vet tech, law school, harness steward accreditation, thoroughbred steward accreditation, working her way up the racing official/steward ranks in various states - doesn't disqualify her.

As far as NYRA stewards go, my greater concern personally is the state steward, Braulio Baeza, Jr., who has singular authority (other stewards only have "input") over issuing jockey suspensions. I do not hold out much hope for the policing of dangerous race riding getting better as long as he is the NY state steward.

Baeza also has authority over the official times, something he knows absolutely nothing about based on his work in this area.

Not at all. For instance I think Baeza got to go.

It's very simple, actually.

When you see a tweet you want to embed here, open the tweet menu and select EMBED TWEET and then simply copy and paste the complete link you see after you click EMBED TWEET

Thank you so much first to CJ and now to PA! I did not know you could just copy the link in that box - that page makes it looks like you have to go further.

Appreciate your taking the time to do the screenshots.
