quarter horse racing associations or corporations or regional off-track
betting corporations ten percent of the breaks derived from on-track
wagers or off-track wagers, as the case may be, as provided in this
article and article five-a of this chapter and to deposit such moneys in
a bank or banks in this state.

2. The fund is authorized to dispose and distribute the moneys
received by it pursuant to the provisions of sections two hundred
twenty-two through seven hundred five of this chapter for the following
purposes and no other:

a. Thirty-six percent as awards to breeders of New York-breds
finishing first, second, third and fourth in open races.
