conducting  harness  racing  for the three consecutive years immediately
preceding April second,  nineteen  hundred  fifty-three,  which  license
shall  be  operative  during  the  racing dates of such fair, unless the
association, corporation or society conducting such fair shall  affirma-
tively  waive objection to the issuance of such license for dates within
such period. No such license shall be granted to any track located with-
in the corporate limits of a city of the first class.  No  such  license
shall  be  granted to any harness horse racetrack OR HARNESS HORSE RACE-
TRACKS WITH VIDEO LOTTERY TERMINALS located within  [twenty-five]  SIXTY
miles  of any track already licensed for the same dates and hours except
with the consent of the licensee located within such [twenty-five] SIXTY
mile area.
