2. The division of entries in divided races shall be in accordance with the conditions specified under which the entries were made; and

3. In the absence of any conditions regarding the division of entries, horses that might be coupled as mutuel entries may be placed in different divisions and the remainder of the horses shall be drawn by lot to provide wagering interests as equal as possible for each division of the divided race.
