A. In purse races and overnight handicaps with more than eight interests, owners shall have the right to declare out to that number before the time stipulated by the regulations of the association on the day of the race, such right to be determined by lot when necessary. B. However, in races constituting the daily double, exacta or other such exotic wagering, owners may declare out to 10 interests. Declarations below stipulated interests may only be made by permission from the stewards. Any race carded for exacta or exotic wagering must have at least eight betting interests, otherwise the stewards at their discretion may disallow exactas or exotic wagering for that particular race. The also-eligibles shall have the preference to scratch over regularly carded horses.
