Title: Travers Question
Post by: richiebee on August 25, 2014, 07:14:25 AM
From Sunday DRF: \"VE Day is owned by Magalen Bryant, who is also a partner in the
Centennial Farms syndicate that owns Wicked Strong. Bryant has a 2.5% interest in
Wicked Strong.\"

What is the NYSRWB rule that dictates that these two entries were NOT coupled?

This might cover it,not sure.

4026.3 c
(c) Coupled entries. Should the same individual or legal entity required to be disclosed and registered as a nonmanaging owner for a horse be present in the ownership (including the managing ownership) of another horse or horses in a race, to the extent that there is a 25 percent commonality in ownership between any two of such horses, all such horses shall be coupled as an entry. In addition, the stewards may require the coupling of horses having a lesser degree of common ownership where the stewards deem it desirable in the public interest.

Apparently, there is a policy that in races of $1 million or more, there are no coupled entries.
