Section 71IAC7.5-1-4. Coupled entries

   (a) Two (2) or more horses which are entered in a race shall be joined as a mutuel and single betting interest if they are owned or leased in whole or in part by the same owner, except entries may be uncoupled in stake races and invitational races with permission of the stewards.

  (b) No more than two (2) horses having common ties through ownership or training may be entered in an overnight race, except in races to be divided. No owner may start two (2) or more horses in a race to the exclusion of another owner's single entry except in stakes or stakes trials. Preference for horses with the same trainer, but having no common ties of ownership, will be determined by the conditions of the race and/or preference date and may exclude a single entry.

  (c) A trainer may not train for another trainer licensed in the state of Indiana.
