(1) In the event a Class C race meet cancels races (due to weather or the inability to fill races) the unused purse funds provided under RCW 67.16.105 may, with approval, be used by the racing association to adjust purses for other races at the licensed race meet for which the purse funds were provided. If only one race is canceled per day, the stewards may approve an adjustment of purses. If more than one race is canceled, approval to adjust purses must come from the executive secretary.

(2) The racing association must return the unused purse funds if adjustment of purses is not appropriate (for example - only one race is held during the race meet).

(3) If the entire Class C race meet is canceled or if an adjustment to purses is not appropriate, all undistributed purse funds provided under RCW 67.16.105 must be returned to the commission within thirty days of cancellation of the race meet.
