Section 45-44-151.03 Provisions respecting takeout of racing events. In order to provide a
uniform takeout for parimutuel wagering on live greyhound racing events and on horse or greyhound
racing events that are conducted elsewhere and received by television at the Macon County
racetrack, and to enable the Macon County racetrack to maximize its participation in combined
pools with other racetracks both inside and outside the State of Alabama, the Legislature
hereby finds and determines that it is necessary and desirable to authorize the uniform takeout
hereinafter provided for parimutuel pools wagered by bettors present at the Macon County racetrack,
notwithstanding Section 40-26A-2, which section is hereby superseded to the extent that its
provisions purport to govern the takeout at the Macon County racetrack in a manner inconsistent
with this part. Subject to Section 45-44-151.01, relating to adjustment of the takeout for
combined pools, the total takeout allowed to the racing...
