One Mile Tracks............................83 Days

Half Mile Tracks............10 Days

Trotting and Pacing Tracks......................20 Days

Distribution to Baltimore City and Counties is in addition to an initial allocation of $24,000 annually from the One Mile Track Revenues. From
the total for distribution, allocation is first made for the budget of the Department of Post Mortem Examiners and the remainder is then appor-
tioned to Baltimore City and the Counties.

An allocation of $314,000 annually is made to the Maryland State Fair Board from the General Fund portion of revenues received from the Half
Mile and Trotting and Pacing Meets. The allocation is reduced by payments from each Trotting or Pacing Track representing 1/10% of all
money waged in excess of $2,000,000 with a maximum of $3,500 from each licensee.
Each of the One Mile Tracks is required to pay the sum of $12,000 annually to the State Fair Board.

(A) $50.00 daily license fee paid direct to County Treasurer. Half Mile Tracks days transferred to Mile Tracks require a $1,000 daily license fee which
is divided according to the 75%—25% Half Mile Track distribution formula.

(B) Includes 1/2% Race Track Improvement Levy.

(C) Applicable to tracks having total wagers in excess of $166,666.67 daily average.
