If horses are entered in the same race owned wholly or in part by the same Owner, then that entry shall be coupled for wagering purposes. At the time of entry, a preference must be made to the end that each interest may have an entry in each division should the race be divided. For different Owners, an organization licensee, with approval of the Stewards, may allow for each entrant to have an equal shake to draw into a race providing the horse(s) have preference. Horses with identical ownership interests regarding prepayment, nomination, and stake races must be coupled in races which have incremental purse payout from first to last. If a race is to be divided, an additional conditional entry may be accepted from any interest. Each such entry may have a joint entry. All divided races will be considered separate races.

4. Once a horse draws into a race he will receive a running date corresponding to the date of the race. Each time a horse races, his date will change to correspond with his newest running date.

5. The preference date is in order of the oldest date having preference. In cases in which an entry date and running date are the same, the entry date will take preference over the running date.
