  and  twelfth  judicial districts.  The second zone shall include all the
  other  counties  of  the  state.  Not  more  than  six  corporations  or
  associations  shall  hereafter  be  licensed  by  the  state  racing and
  wagering board to conduct a race course  or  race  meeting  for  running
  races  or steeplechases at which pari-mutuel betting shall be authorized
  within the first zone, and not more than three of such  corporations  or
  associations  shall hereafter be so licensed within the second zone. The

  incorporation of such a corporation or association for conducting a race
  course  or  race  meeting  within the second zone if the location of the
  proposed race course  of  such  corporation  or  association  is  within
  seventy-five  miles  of  the  race course of another such corporation or
  association.
