Jockeys Trevor McCarthy and Katie Davis received a surprising wedding “present” earlier this week.
The couple, who were married in mid-December, were stunned to learn that due to New York State Gaming Commission rules their horses must be coupled in the wagering whenever they ride in the same race at New York Racing Association tracks.
Davis said Jan. 1 the little-known state rule that calls for horses ridden by married couples to be coupled needs to be changed.
