Barbara D. LivingstonRice's ban was for "conduct detrimental to racing," according to a hearing officer's report.

Linda Rice, a leading New York-based trainer, had her license officially revoked on Monday by the New York Gaming Commission, which two weeks ago approved a hearing officer’s report recommending that she be banned for three years for “conduct detrimental to racing.”

The official order means that Rice will no longer be allowed on the premises of a New York racetrack and will be prohibited from “directly and indirectly” participating in any racing activity. However, Rice’s attorney, Andrew Turro, said on Monday afternoon that he would appeal the gambling commission’s order this week and seek a stay.

“We’re seriously troubled by the commission’s order on racing information and believe it’s incorrect in a number of material respects,” Turro said.
