I'm not sure how it is in every racing jurisdiction, but the CHRB sent me an Excel spreadsheet showing how takeout is distributed in Northern California. I would have to think that it is somewhat similar in other locations, or at least you can get the picture of how it is broken up.

I put the file up at a file hosting site, in case anybody wants to see the proof of distribution of takeout, it is located here

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for or not misscashalot, hope it helps.
