    No  corporation  organized  pursuant  to  this  article or operating a
  quarter horse race meet pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  section  four
  hundred  four of this chapter, shall have or be given the right or power
  to conduct any quarter horse race meet pursuant to this  article  except
  at  the  location  designated in its certificate of incorporation as the
  place at which it  was  proposed  to  conduct  its  business;  provided,
  however,  that  this restriction shall not apply to any such corporation
  or association whose racing plant or the usefulness thereof  or  of  any
  material  part  thereof,  in  the discretion of the board shall, for any
  reason beyond the control of such corporation or association, be totally
  destroyed or so substantially interfered with or damaged  as  to  render

  restoration of its usefulness or the making of the required  repairs  to
  said  plant  or  the part thereof so destroyed or damaged, the board may
  license such corporation or association to  conduct  its  quarter  horse
