    §  212.  Stewards  at  race meetings. There shall be three stewards to
  supervise each running race meeting conducted pursuant  to  section  two
  hundred  seven  of  this  chapter.  One  of  such  stewards shall be the
  official steward of the board, one shall be appointed by the jockey club
  or  by  the  national  steeplechase  and  hunt  association  as  may  be
  appropriate,   and   one  shall  be  appointed  by  the  corporation  or
  association conducting such race meeting. Such stewards  shall  exercise
  such  powers  and  perform  such  duties  at each race meeting as may be
  prescribed by the rules of the state racing and wagering  board.  During
  the  absence or inability to act of an official steward of the board, or
  in the event of the failure or inability to appoint either of the  other
  two  stewards,  the powers and duties of such steward shall be exercised
  and performed without compensation by a member of the  board  designated
  by the board for that purpose.
