Linda Rice
A native of Wisconsin, Linda Rice is a third generation trainer who grew up in the horse business. While she attended Penn State University, Linda stayed actively involved in the breaking, training and development of young horses. As an Exercise Rider and an Assistant Trainer for many years, her passion for racing led her to training horses full-time. By the end of 2006 Linda had won over 600 races with purse earnings exceeding $20,000,000, securing her position as one of New York’s leading trainers. Linda’s accomplishments include winning every graded stakes race for two-year-olds at the prestigious Saratoga race meet. The New York Turf Writers presented Linda with the Four Star Dave Award for her outstanding accomplishments with City Zip. City Zip won four consecutive stakes in a row as a two-year-old, including the Grade 1 stake, The Hopeful, at Saratoga. She has built her racing team into one of the strongest in the country by purchasing and developing weanlings, yearlings and two-year-olds into racing prospects. Throughout the years, Linda has continued to demonstrate her ability to develop winners at all levels of competition by establishing divisions along the East Coast. Her main stable is located in New York and she currently races at Belmont, Saratoga, Aqueduct, Finger Lakes, Gulfstream Park and Tampa Bay Downs. Off the track, Linda has been an active member of the NYTHA Board since 2002 and is chairperson of the Scholarship Committee. |
