New York Laws
Article 3 - Harness Racing and Breeding
307-A - New York-Bred or Wholly Owned Harness Races.

(b) For each horse entered into a race that is limited to horses
wholly owned by New York state residents, each owner shall provide
documentation that demonstrates that such horse is wholly owned by a New
York state resident. Leased horses shall not be eligible for such races
unless both the lessor and lessee are New York state residents. In the
case of a horse owned by a corporation, all owners, officers,
shareholders, and directors shall meet the requirements of a New York
state resident; in the case of a horse owned by an association, all
owners shall meet the requirements of a New York state resident.
(c) If it is in the opinion of such corporation or association
licensed to conduct harness race meetings at which pari-mutuel betting
is permitted that sufficient competition cannot be had among such
restricted class of horses, said race may be eliminated for said day and
a substitute race provided instead.
(d) The commission shall be authorized to promulgate regulations to
effectuate the intent of this section.
