engages in the occupation of receiving, making, transmitting or negotiating, either
in person or by messenger, telephone or telegraph, wagers on horse races run or
about to be run or advertised, posted or reported as being run or about to be run at
any race track in or out of the state, shall, except in the case of wagers made within
the enclosure of a race track licensed by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission
during an authorized race meeting at that track, or an enclosure during regular
