2006 New York Code - Special Provisions As To Hunt Meetings.

 
    §  233.  Special  provisions  as  to hunt meetings.   A corporation or
  association which conducts hunt meetings may apply to the  state  racing
  and  wagering board for a license to conduct pari-mutuel betting on such
  races, on not more than three days in  any  racing  season,  which  days
  shall  be  specified  in such application. The state racing and wagering
  board may grant a license to such corporation or association to  conduct
  pari-mutuel  betting on its track or grounds on not more than three days
  in any  racing  season  to  be  specified  in  such  license,  but  such
  corporation  or association shall not be required to maintain or operate
  the equipment required by section two hundred twenty-six of this chapter
  provided  the  state  racing  and  wagering  board  and  the  state  tax
  commission  are satisfied that such corporation or association has other
  equipment and facilities to conduct such pari-mutuel betting and compute
  the pari-mutuel pools.   Except as herein  provided  all  provisions  of
  sections  two  hundred  twenty-two  through  seven  hundred five of this
  chapter in relation to pari-mutuel betting and the tax  imposed  by  the
  state on account thereof shall apply to pari-mutuel betting conducted by
  such corporation or association.
    The  state racing and wagering board shall appoint an official steward
  for each licensed hunt meeting who shall serve without compensation  and
  who  shall  have  such powers and perform such duties at such meeting as
  may be prescribed by the rules and regulations of the state  racing  and
  wagering board.
    Owners,  trainers,  assistant  trainers,  jockeys,  jockey  agents and
  stable employees participating in a hunt meeting shall  continue  to  be
  licensed  therefor  as  provided by section two hundred thirteen of this
  chapter provided, however, that in the  event  any  person  desiring  to
  participate  in any such capacity in a hunt meeting does not possess the
  annual license prescribed by such section, he may be  licensed  for  the
  duration  of  any  such  hunt  meeting  only,  if otherwise qualified as
  provided in such section,  and  subject  to  the  terms  and  conditions
  thereof, and the license fee therefor in any case shall be two dollars.
