					 by that time they shall be released.
(d) If any horse or horses, drawn to start in
					 a race be excused therefrom by the presiding judge, the also eligible horses,
					 in the order of their priority, may be added to the race. They shall race from
					 the post position of the horse replaced, except in handicap races including

					 nominations or changes shall be made by the judges. Failure to make a necessary
					 nomination or change by programming time shall subject the trainer to fine

(c)
(1) After wagering has begun on a horse, if
					 its programmed driver is unable to drive the horse shall be scratched unless:

					 stake;
(ii) the driver is unable to
					 compete because of injuries suffered in a previous race on the same program;
					 or
(iii) the judges believe a
					 scratch of the horse will not be in the public interest.

					 Once drawn, post positions in stakes or early and late closing events shall be
					 final, unless there is evidence satisfactory to the presiding judge that a
					 horse was properly declared and has been omitted from the race through the
					 error of either the track or its agent or employee. In such event, if the error
					 is discovered prior to scratch time or the printing of the program, whichever
					 is sooner, the horse shall be added to the race, and post positions therefore
					 shall be redrawn. If such race has been divided however, the additional horse
					 shall be added to the division determined by the presiding judge and only the
					 post positions in such division shall be redrawn.
(b) The provisions of this rule shall not
					 apply to overnight events.

					 protect the public interest. A horse to be driven by a full-time employee of
					 another driver in the race shall be considered as racing from the same stable.
					 If a race is divided into two or more divisions, such starters shall be seeded
					 into separate divisions where possible, first on the basis of ownership and by
					 stable, then on the basis of training. The divisions in which they compete and
					 their post positions shall be drawn by lot. Whenever such horses are coupled in
					 the same race, the presiding judge shall approve the second and additional
					 drivers.
(1) Except for stakes races with a
					 purse of $25,000 or more, horses trained by the same trainer but owned by
					 different, separate owners may be uncoupled. The presiding judge has the
					 discretion to couple such horses, however, to protect the interests of the
					 wagering public. Trainers with an ownership interest in more than one horse
					 must have their horses coupled.
(2)
					 Except for stakes races with a purse of $100,000 or more, horses with common
					 ownership may be uncoupled. The presiding judge has the discretion to couple
					 such horses, however, to protect the interests of the wagering
					 public.
