Colorado Racing Commission
1 CCR 208-1

Adopted Amended Rule # 7.236

ADOPTED AMENDED RULE:

7.236 ‑ A trainer or assistant trainer of any horse shall not have any ownership interest in any other horse in the same race unless the horses are coupled as a single wagering interest. If after scratch time the number of separate interests in a race exceed the numerical capacity of the totalisator and/or tote board, once Section 7.232 has been complied with, any further necessary coupling shall be allowed until the coupling creates the maximum numerical capacity of the totalisator and/or tote board.  If the Director determines, in the exercise of his/her sole discretion, that the pool of horses for any given race meet may be insufficient to maintain a reasonable parimutuel racing program with coupled entries, or that other conditions exist which would, in the best interests of racing, make the uncoupling of entries desirable, then the Director may allow horses which would otherwise be coupled under this rule to be uncoupled.
