recommended by it; one member from the mile track associations,
recommended by them; one member from the half-mile track asso-
ciations, recommended by them; and one member of the Commission
designated by it. If any member other than the Commission member
has not been recommended by June 1 of each year, the Commission
shall make an appointment for the organization f ailing to so recom-
mend a member of the Committee. The Committee shall assist and
advise the Commission in administering the Maryland-Bred Race
Program and the Maryland-Bred Race Fund. The members of the
Committee shall receive no compensation for their services as
members.

(d) On and after June 1, 1962, each thoroughbred track licensee
shall provide for the running of races, to be known as "The Maryland-
Bred Fund Races" for horses foaled in Maryland according to the
Maryland Breeder's Association registration certificate. The number
of Maryland-Bred Fund races, amounts of the purses, dates of run-
ning such races, distance provisions of such races, breeders awards
and any other conditions necessary to carry out the intent of the
Maryland-Bred Fund races shall be determined by the Commission
upon recommendation of the Committee. The amounts of the purses
and the conditions for each race shall be determined in sufficient
advance time to permit track licensees to include the purses and the
conditions in their stake and condition books. If any Maryland-Bred
Fund race fails to attract at least five separate qualified entries, then
the Commission shall cancel the race and the purse shall not be paid
out of the Fund. In the event the Commission cancels any race, it
shall notify the track licensee in time to permit the licensee to schedule
a substitute race.

(e) The track licensee may, but is not required to, add to any purse
offered by the Commission in any "Maryland-Bred Fund Race. "

(f) Any purse money authorized herein and actually paid for any
Maryland-Bred Fund Race run at any track in this State is hereby
declared to be specifically excluded or exempted from, not to be
included in or to have any relation to the purses, stakes or breeders'
bonuses paid or offered by any track association for any races other
than Maryland-Bred Fund races, and which other purses, stakes or
breeders' bonuses are determined by agreement or formula between
each such association and an organization representing the horsemen.
