Default AQU Coupled Entries

Boxing Day Race 8...Jacobson trains #1 and #2. He co-owns #1 and fully owns #2. Why isn't this a coupled entry???

Many venues have gone uncoupled to boost betting interests. And really, why not? Let true odds dictate. Who wants to like the longer half of an entry and see the price dragged down by the other side.

And on the Jacobson question, percentage (25% or below maybe?) determines common ownership.
