§ 239. Books and records of pari-mutuel betting. Every corporation or
association conducting a horse race meeting at which pari-mutuel betting
on the races run at such meeting is authorized shall keep its books and
records so as to clearly show by a separate record the total amount of
money contributed to every pari-mutuel pool, including daily double
pools, if any. The department of taxation and finance or its duly
authorized representatives shall at all reasonable times have access to
all such books and records for the purpose of examining and checking the
same and ascertaining whether or not the proper amount or amounts due to
the state are being paid by such licensed or franchised corporation.
