(5) For the purposes of paragraph (c) of sub-Rule (2) and of the whole of sub-Rules (3) or (6) hereof, a horse shall be deemed to be owned by any such person referred to in those sub-Rules if such person has a legal or beneficial interest in that horse, including a legal or beneficial interest in a Legal Ownership Entity.

(6) If a horse has been entered for or started in a Race while affected by any unregistered Ownership or lessee interest or while owned by a person referred to in Rule 525(2)(c) in contravention of the requirements of Rule 525(1), the Owner or lessee (as the case may be) or any of the Owners or lessees (as the case may be) or a Stipendiary Steward or an Investigator may apply to NZTR or the Judicial Committee for exemption from the operation of this Rule in respect of such Races as such horse has previously started in while so affected or while owned by such person and NZTR or the Judicial Committee may, if satisfied that there are special circumstances which so warrant, grant an exemption accordingly in which event the horse shall be deemed to have been validly entered for and started in all those Races to which the exemption applies and shall not be liable to disqualification on the grounds of such ownership provided that in granting any such exemption NZTR or the Judicial Committee may order the Owner or lessees (as the case may be) and/or any of the Owners or lessees (as the case may be) to pay to NZTR a sum up to the amount earned in stakes by the horse in such Races.

If the second horse is itself ineligible or disqualified this and the next sub-Rule shall apply to the third horse and so on in respect of any horse placed by the Judge.
