NEW SECTION
WAC 260-16-065   Washington bred owners bonus distribution formula.   The one percent Washington bred owners bonus funds shall be collected and distributed as required in RCW 67.16.102. The one percent owners bonus funds collected from each licensee shall be paid in accordance with RCW 67.16.102 at the end of the race meet to the licensed owners of Washington bred horses finishing first, second, third and fourth in the licensee's race meet. The formula for the equitable distribution of the one percent Washington bred owners bonus funds shall be as follows:

     (1) Calculate the payment factor by dividing the total one percent Washington bred owners bonus funds collected at the race meet by the total amount of winnings (earnings) of the Washington bred horses finishing first, second, third, and fourth in the race meet.

     (2) Multiply the winnings (earnings) of each Washington bred owner by the payment factor to determine the amount of the one percent Washington bred owner's bonus to be paid to the owner.
