Proven at the Rail.
Linda Rice learned the trade breaking young horses for her father in Wisconsin. More than 2,900 wins later, the job is the same: know every horse in the barn, and put each one where it can win.

Our Story
A Horsewoman First
Linda grew up in central Wisconsin breaking and starting young horses for her father, trainer Clyde Rice. She galloped horses and worked as an assistant before taking out her own license in 1987, and she has been a fixture on the New York circuit ever since.
The records came later: the first woman to win a training title at a major American meet, then more wins than any woman trainer in history. Away from the track, she has served on the NYTHA board since 2002 and chairs its Scholarship Committee for backstretch families.
