to each agricultural fair licensee that conducts live racing on |
| fair dates assigned by the commissioner pursuant to Title 7, |
| section 65 and to each agricultural fair licensee that conducts an |
| extended meet as long as that licensee conducted an extended meet |
| in 2005, with each commercial track and each agricultural fair |
| licensee receiving an amount of money determined by multiplying the |
| amount of money available for distribution times a fraction, the |
| numerator of which is the total number of live race dashes assigned |
| to the commercial track or agricultural fair licensee for the year |
| and the denominator of which is the total number of race dashes |
| assigned to all commercial tracks and agricultural fair licensees |
| for the year.__The payment in January must be adjusted so that for |
| the prior year each commercial track or agricultural fair licensee |
| entitled to a distribution receives that portion of the total money |
| distributed for the full year from the fund established by this |
| section that is determined by multiplying the total amount of money |
| by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of live race |
| dashes conducted by the commercial track or agricultural fair |
| licensee during the calendar year that qualify for a distribution |
| and the denominator of which is the total number of race dashes |
| conducted during that calendar year that qualify for a |
| distribution.__For purposes of this subsection, a race dash |
| qualifies for distribution if the dash was conducted by a |
| commercial track or by an agricultural fair licensee on dates |
| assigned under Title 7, section 65 or during an extended meet.__The |
| number of dashes held at an extended meet that qualify for |
| distribution may not exceed the number of dashes conducted by the |
| licensee during an extended meet in 2005.__The funds distributed |
| pursuant to this subsection must be used to supplement harness |
| racing purses. |
