(a) In the event a stake or futurity is split into divisions, the added money for each division shall be at least 20% of all nomination, sustaining and starting fees paid into the stake or futurity, except that in the case of a stake with a value of $20,000 or less, and conducted at a non-extended meeting, the stake may be divided and each division raced for an equal share of the total purse if the advertised conditions so provide.
(b) Where a race other than a stake or futurity is divided, each division must race for at least 75% of the advertised purse. For splitting of stakes and futurities the USTA Rule 12.10 applies. Provided however that at non-extended meetings in the case of other added money early closing events, and early closers and late closers with a value of $20,000 or less the race may be divided and raced in divisions and each division raced for an equal share of the total purse if the advertised conditions so provide.
