No certificate of incorporation under this section shall hereafter be
filed without the approval of the commission indorsed thereon or annexed

No corporation organized pursuant to this article or operating a
harness horse race meet pursuant to the provisions of section three
hundred four of this article, shall have or be given the right or power
to conduct any harness 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, or at the place
or places where it is presently licensed to conduct a harness horse race
meet or meetings by the commission; 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 commission, 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 same unfit for
continued operation. Pending the rebuilding, or restoration of its
usefulness or the making of the required repairs to said plant or the
part thereof so destroyed or damaged, the commission may license such
corporation or association to conduct its harness horse race meetings at
any other suitable location.
