programs for simulcast races as follows:
1. On days when the organization licensee is conducting live racing,
the licensee may accept wagers on not more than two out-of-state full

and may accept wagers on the results of not more than four
out-of-state full racing programs during the hours it is not
conducting live racing; and
2. a. On days when the organization licensee is not conducting live
racing, the licensee may accept wagers on the results of not more than
six out-of-state full racing programs, provided that the number of
days, not included in its race meeting, which an organization licensee
may be authorized to accept wagering pursuant to this paragraph is
limited to fifty percent (50%) of the number of days the licensee
conducts live racing;
b. notwithstanding the limitations contained in subparagraph a of this
paragraph, an organization licensee may accept wagers on races run at
any racetrack licensed by the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission, and
may accept wagers on the out-of-state full racing programs received by
said racetrack;
3. On days when the licensee is conducting live racing, the Oklahoma
Horse Racing Commission may authorize the organization licensee to
accept wagers on individual out-of-state simulcast races in addition
to the out-of-state full racing programs.
B. For purposes of this section, fifty percent (50%) or more of the

where the race is run, or may be combined with other organization
licensees licensed by the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission and their
wagering facilities located within this state.
D. Each organization licensee accepting wagers on an out-of-state race
shall deduct a percentage of the amount handled which is equal to the
percentage deducted from the amount handled by the organization
licensee in pari-mutuel pools at the race meeting or meetings held by
the organization licensee if the wagers on the out-of-state races are
not being combined with the pari-mutuel pool or pools where the race
or races are being run.

organization licensee shall pay the state share of the organization

the organization licensee.
F. Breakage and unclaimed ticket proceeds shall be distributed in the
manner applicable to the races of the racing program of the
organization licensee.
G. Except as otherwise provided by law, the amount remaining from the
deduction pursuant to the provisions of subsection D of this section
after payment of the state share and the contractual payment to the
out-of-state host racing organization, shall be distributed as
follows:
1. Fifty percent (50%) to the organization licensee; and
2. Fifty percent (50%) to the organization licensee to be distributed
as purses.
H. An organization licensee accepting wagers on out-of-state full
racing programs pursuant to subsection A of this section shall, for
any year in which it intends to accept such out-of-state full racing
programs, make application to the Commission for not less than eighty
percent (80%) of the number of live racing days awarded for each race
meeting to that licensee in 1996.
I. Notwithstanding subsection H of this section, any organization
licensee may apply for less than the eighty percent (80%) of the
number of live race days for a designated race meeting awarded to the
licensee in 1996 if such application is approved by the organization
licensee's official horsemen's representative at that designated race
meeting.
J. One-tenth of one percent (1/10 of 1%) of the total monies wagered
at the racing enclosure on out-of-state simulcast races shall be
remitted by the organization licensee from the amount retained
pursuant to this section to the State Auditor and Inspector for the
purpose of auditing racing facilities.
