HB 1845: Horse racing purses

Modifying certain horse racing purses.

Summary

  • One-half of those moneys that would otherwise be paid into the thoroughbred racing fund are to be retained by the race organizer and must be used for enhancing purses, until such time as a permanent racing facility is built and operating in western Washington. The total amount available for purses would be 7.75 percent of the handle, or about $60,000 per day, at Yakima for Emerald Racing's next season.
