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.
