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

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
the anticipated race meeting. Any such schedule may be amended from time to time during the
course of a race meeting if it becomes apparent that the operator's actual horse racing handle
for such race meeting will not match its original estimate. Each horse racing...
