Pownal Calls for Permanent Higher Take in Vermont Pari Mutuel
Vincent J. Bartimo of Green Mountain Park urged a permanent readjustment of the pari mutuel tax split to sustain racing in Vermont. After two years of operation, he details current temporary formulas: 13 percent for the track and 5 percent for the state on thoroughbreds, with additional state take if handle exceeds $200,000, and 15 percent to the track with 3 percent to the state for harness racing. He proposes a sliding or permanent adjusted split, noting it may take three to five years to reach a sustainable figure, while warning a lack of permanent change could shutter operations.
