takeout for pari-mutuel wagering on racing events that reflects the competitive pressure on
pari-mutuel wagering from other forms of gambling in surrounding states, and to enable any
racetrack in a Class 1 municipality (a "Class 1 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 pari-mutuel pools wagered by bettors present at a
Class 1 racetrack, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11-65-28 and 40-26A-2, which
