§ 305.234. Coupled entries.
(a) The term ‘‘entry’’ means a horse made eligible to run in a race. When Starters in a race include two or more horses with common ownership, they shall be coupled as an entry. A wager on one horse in the entry shall be a wager on all horses in the entry. If one horse is scratched after betting has begun, the remaining horse shall run as a single betting entry.
(b) Horses owned wholly or in part by the same trainer, person or the spouse of the person shall be coupled and run as an entry.
(c) Starters in a race which include two horses of different ownership trained by the same person, or trained in the same stable shall not be coupled as an entry and shall constitute a separate wagering interest.
(d) No more than two horses having common ties through ownership or training may be entered in an overnight race. Under no circumstances may both horses of a coupled entry start to the exclusion of a single entry. When making a coupled entry, a preference for one of the horses must be made.
(e) The rules in subsections (a)—(d) may be waived by application and demonstration of proper cause to the racing secretary and the Stewards.
