I don't think any horses should be coupled ever. I don't want to be sitting and waiting for a horse to run back and then i'm coupled with a horse i don't want. This happened recently at Del mar with a John Harris owned horse with one horse trained by Carla Gaines and one trained by Sean McCarthy. (i didn't want the Gaines stinker and wanted to bet the McCarthy 'longshot')
Incidentally, with this entry, they dueled each other into defeat, even though they were both owned by John Harris.
I'd much rather see Tyler Baze and Michael Baze coupled (for example) in the wagering than a horse with the same owners.
