Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, and in addition to any other exemption which the law may grant, there shall be allowed an exemption in the amount of $6,000 for each quarter horse race conducted at any track licensed under this chapter. This exemption shall be a deduction from the total daily pool on which the license fee is imposed, and the license fee shall be computed on the net daily pools which meet the limits set by R.S. 4:161 only after deducting this and other authorized exemptions therefrom. Proceeds derived as a result of this exemption shall be allocated as follows: fifty percent to the track licensee and fifty percent for the purses for the quarter horse races.
