(D) Except as provided in this section to the
contrary, the Comptroller may not divide, allocate and pay
to the several counties of the State and to Baltimore City
any portion of the (1) revenues or license fees arising out
of any days of racing in excess of 33 at any one track
during any one year, collected by the Maryland Racing
Commission from each licensee licensed under § 7 of this
article; (2) revenues arising out of any days of racing in
excess of ten at any one track during any one year collected
by the Maryland Racing Commission from each licensee
licensed under § 15 of this article; [3) revenues or license
fees arising out of any days of racing in excess of 20 at
any one track during any one year collected by the Maryland
Racing Commission from each licensee licensed under § 17 of
this article. However, this limitation on the allocation
and payment of revenue to the political subdivisions does
not apply to the additional 48 days of racing awarded under
§ 7 (b) of this article; and the distribution of revenue for
these additional days of racing shall be calculated in the
same manner as applies to racing for the first 33 days.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (C), this

and facilities located within six miles of the respective
racetracks and occasioned by their presence. Of this
revenue, Baltimore City, Anne Arundel and Prince George's
counties shall each receive 30 percent and Howard County
shall receive 10 percent. The limitation on the allocation
and payment of revenue to the political subdivisions does
not apply to the 18 additional days of racing authorized
