Johnnny I think some of those who passed info along have already been
suspended/fined/fired.
I wonder how NYRA feels about this. The woman is a year round presence at the
NY tracks, fills a lot of races, and usually has a stable that contains a mix
of claimer/state bred/stakes horses to fit the condition book.
Here is a hypothetical. Take the agent for the top rider at the Aqueduct winter
meet. Take an eight horse field at said meet. Before entries are drawn, that
agent probably knows 5-6 of the horses who will be entered in said race. Does
agent share with trainers? Ms. Rice's methods were a bit more certainteed I
guess.
Still, severe punishment, something else going on here?
There should be no loss of license for LR, but if there is, about midway
through the suspension, the Return of Tricky, who will have a full barn if NYRA
allows him stalls.
