				writing, or by telephone or other electronic communication subsequently
				confirmed in writing by the owner, trainer, or authorized agent. When any
				entrant or nominator claims failure or error in the receipt by an association
				of any entry or declaration, such entrant or nominator may be required to
				submit evidence within a reasonable time of the filing of the entry or the
				declaration.
2.
Posting.
Upon the closing of entries, the racing secretary shall
				promptly compile a list of entries and cause it to be conspicuously
				posted.

Coupling.
a. Entry coupling. When one or more horses
				entered in a race have a common owner, the horses must be coupled as an entry.
				However, a trainer may enter two horses, separately owned, for wagering
				purposes. One of the horses must be preferred. If the race overfills, only one
				may start. If the race does not overfill, both horses may start and run as
				separate betting interest. Except in time trials and stakes races, there is no
				limit on the number of horses a single owner or trainer may run in that race
				and all entrants may race uncoupled with the steward's permission for wagering
				purposes. If an infraction occurs where, in the opinion of the stewards, the
				act which led to the disqualification served to unduly benefit the owner or
				trainer of the other entrant, the stewards may, at their discretion, disqualify
				the other parts of the owned or trained entrants.
b. Coupled entries prohibited. Coupled
				entries may not be permitted to race on any program in a race which is part of
				a daily double.
c. Coupling of
				entries by stewards. The stewards shall couple as a single entry any horses
				which, in the determination of the stewards are connected by common ownership
				or by a common trainer or when the stewards determine that coupling is
				necessary in the interest of the regulation of the pari-mutuel racing industry
				or necessary to the public confidence in racing.
d. Coupled entry excluding others. A coupled
				entry may not be permitted to enter or start if the effect of the entry is to
				deprive an uncoupled single entry horse from starting.

				less than eight, the stewards shall determine by lot which entrants may be
				scratched and permitted to withdraw from the race. In the case of scratches
				from races involving daily doubles or trifecta wagering, eight entries must
				remain in the race to enable an entrant to voluntarily scratch.

				by any starting personnel directly causes a horse to receive an unfair start,
				the stewards may declare the horse a nonstarter.

				start, not be in the starting gate stall thereby causing it to be left when the
				field is dispatched by the starter, the horse must be declared a nonstarter by
				the stewards.

				malfunction of the starting gate, or other unforeseeable event compromises the
				fairness of the race or the safety of race participants, the stewards may
				declare individual horses to be nonstarters, exclude individual horses from all
				parimutuel pools or declare a "no race".

				purse must be distributed evenly to all participants or the funds must be
				returned to their source. If it is determined funds must be returned:

				be returned to the commission except when an association returns the funds to
				that association's purse pool and uses the funds to fund subsequent
				races.
