I believe Oaklawn is only equipped to offer 12 wagering interests. They don't have AE's and stakes races where they allow more than 12 starters will normally have "field" options for a group of horses with longer odds. I wondered the same thing as I haven't seen coupled entrys like this with no apparent ownership or trainer connection before.

I was thinking the same thing, and if true, in this day and age that is inexcusable for a place that considers itself a "major" track.
