Default NYS RWB approves uncoupling of entries; Starts mid-July

In a change that should give handle a significant boost, the New York State Racing and Wagering Board on Wednesday approved a rule that would uncouple same-trainer, different-owner entries in all races at state tracks.

The rule goes into effect on July 14, the date the next state registry is published. That should allow the New York Racing Association to uncouple entries as early as closing weekend of the Belmont meet. Certainly, the rule will be in place when Saratoga opens on July 23. Currently, multiple horses trained by the same trainer but owned by different parties must be coupled and run as one betting interest.

OK . Now how about jumping on board with Frank's idea about a mega lotto based on horse racing ? This should have many less approval hurdles than VLTs .

Only one problem. . . It's a really stupid idea.

Doesn't sound that bad to me. New York racing needs all the help it can get. I guess for that matter so doesn't everyone else.

From the piece...

NYRA first proposed the rule change in May 2006

Old incantations of the State Racing and Wagering Board sat on this endlessly..

Maybe this will lead the way to races where only one trainer will have all the entries?

2 yo MSW colts and geldings 6 furlongs (Pletcher only)

Does Pletcher have any 2YO geldings?

Actually, I thought that I read that two was the max number of entries from a trainer in an overnight race.
