Section 11-65-31 Purses for horse races and greyhound races. From the moneys deposited in pari-mutuel
pools for horse races which constitute the "takeout" deducted by a horse racing
operator pursuant to Section 11-65-28(b), each horse racing operator shall apply an amount
equal to seven percent of its total horse racing handle to provide purse moneys for horse
races conducted by such operator. Prior to the commencement of any race meeting, the horse
racing operator conducting such meeting shall estimate the amount of its horse racing handle
to be derived from such meeting. Based upon such estimate, the horse racing operator shall
adopt a schedule providing for a reasonable allocation of purse moneys over the period of
