Section 13:70-6.5 - Coupled horses

Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 13:70-6.5
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

All horses owned wholly or in part by the same owner or the spouse of any such owner, or trained by the same trainer shall not be coupled as an entry but rather shall run as separate wagering interests except at the discretion of the presiding steward, where the presiding steward believes it is necessary to couple the horses in order to protect the public interest. For the purpose of this section, "ownership" shall be construed to mean any person required to be licensed as an owner pursuant to these rules and in the instance of multiple ownerships, persons possessing at least a five percent commonality of interest in each of the respective horses. If two or more horses entered in the same race are owned in whole or in part by the same person or persons, spouse of any such person or persons, or are trained by the same trainer, the racing association shall take such actions as are necessary to adequately inform the public, including prominently publishing the name of the owner (s) and trainer in the official program and announcing the common trainer or ownership interests over the public address system.
