Status as of 12/17/2025 - Subsequent Ruling - Maria Reid withdrew her appeal in
Maria Reid v. New Jersey Racing Commission, OAL Docket No. RAC 04081-25, which
resulted in the OAL returning her case file to the New Jersey Racing Commission. At
issue in the appeal was Ruling No. 25MDH10, dated January 23, 2025, in which the
Board of Judges at Meadowlands Racetrack imposed a 15 day suspension, $500.00
fine, disqualification of the horse "Almost Karen" and 1/2 MMV point for violation of
N.J.A.C. 13:71-1.19, N.J.A.C. 13:71-23.1 (a) (b) 14, N.J.A.C. 13:71-23.6 (a)(b)(c)(d),
N.J.A.C. 13:71-23.7 (a)(b)(c)(d), and N.J.A.C. 13:71-23.8 (g)1 in connection with a postrace positive test result revealing the presence of Flunixin above the allowable limit
in the horse "Almost Karen" after the 2nd race on December 6, 2024 at Freehold
Raceway. Ms. Reid appealed the decision of the Board of Judges and requested a
stay of the penalties. By Ruling No. 25TRH1, dated January 28, 2025, a stay was
granted and the matter was transmitted to the Office of Administrative Law as a
contested case. Having withdrawn her appeal, the penalties issued in Ruling No.
25MDH10 by the Board of Judges at Meadowlands Racetrack are reinstated. Ms. Reid
is hereby issued a 15 day suspension, fined $500.00 and 1/2 MMV point is imposed.
Said suspension will be served from December 28, 2025 through and including
January 11, 2026. Payment of the fine is due on or before January 11, 2026. The
horse "Almost Karen" is disqualified from sharing in the purse and the Horsemen's
Bookkeeper is hereby ordered to redistribute the purse monies accordingly from the
2nd race on December 6, 2024 at Freehold Raceway. This matter is hereby referred to
the Board of Judges for a hearing to determine if further disciplinary action is
warranted in the event Ms. Reid fails to show good cause to the Board of Judges as
to why the withdrawal of her appeal should not be deemed frivolous in accordance
with N.J.A.C. 13:71-3.6. Related rulings: 25MDH10, dated January 23, 20
