19607.2. Notwithstanding Section 19605.8, when satellite wagering is conducted on thoroughbred races at associations or fairs in the northern zone, an amount not to exceed 2 percent of the total amount handled by all of those satellite wagering facilities shall be deducted from the funds otherwise allocated for distribution as commissions, purses, and owners’ premiums and instead be distributed to an organization formed and operated by thoroughbred racing associations, fairs conducting thoroughbred racing, and the organization representing thoroughbred horsemen and horsewomen, for use pursuant to Section 19607.3.
