\"SD_LindaRice112809lorescropped\"<\/a>Trainer Linda Rice is part of a long line of horsemen and horsewomen, and grew up breaking and training young horses for father Clyde Rice. She was an exercise rider and assistant trainer for years before taking out her trainer\u2019s license in 1987 at the age of 23. She became the first woman to saddle a Grade 1 winner at Keeneland when Tenski won the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup. A longtime New York staple, Rice once saddled six straight winners at Saratoga, where she became the first woman to win a training title. She has since picked up back-to-back titles at Aqueduct and has expanded her operation to Penn National. To date, her horses have earned well over $40 million on the track.<\/i>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

City Zip \u2013 He won all three 2-year-old stakes at Saratoga in 2000 for me. He dead heated with Yonaguska in the Hopeful. He was a $9,000 weanling that beat a $2 million 2-year-old. He was disqualified in the Futurity with Jose Santos, which cost him the two year old honors of the year.<\/p>\n

Afleet Alex \u2013 He impressed me when he was bumped, stumbled badly at the quarter pole and went on to win the Preakness. No ordinary horse, incredible effort!<\/p>\n
