A receiving track may accept wagers only at the track where it is licensed to
conduct its race meeting or conduct intertrack wagering. A receiving track may
accept wagers through a telephone account wagering system. Wagers at a
receiving track, simulcast facility, or on telephone account wagering shall form
a common pool with wagers at a host track. This common pool requirement
shall not apply to wagers made in connection with interstate simulcasting
pursuant to KRS 230.3771; however, common pools shall be encouraged.
Except as provided in KRS 230.3771(2), the commission of a receiving track,
simulcast facility, or on telephone account wagering shall be the same as the
commission of the host track as determined in KRS 230.3615 or 230.750.
In the absence of a valid contract with a horsemen's organization, the
commission of a receiving track, after deduction of applicable taxes and other
applicable deductions, shall be split as follows: twenty-two percent (22%) to the
host track, twenty-two percent (22%) to the purse program at the host track,
twenty-two percent (22%) to the receiving track and twenty-two percent (22%)
to the purse program at the receiving track. Twelve percent (12%) of the
commission shall be allocated evenly between the host track and the receiving
track to cover the cost of simulcasting, unless otherwise agreed to by contract.
The deduction for the backside improvement fund, as provided for in KRS
230.3615(4) shall not apply to the commission or pari-mutuel tax of a receiving
track or telephone account wagering.
A receiving track shall be exempt from the admissions tax levied in KRS
138.480 and from any license fee imposed by statute or regulation by the
racing commission.
