Default Class Project to Design Race Meet

So I am currently taking a racing secretary class at the University of Arizona. One of my projects, actually one of the biggest projects, is to design a 33 day race meet from the bottom up. We are basically given simulcasting numbers for money, average handle, and approximate horse population and have to go from there, plus it is a mixed meet, so we have to figure in QH's and try to keep everyone happy.

I have to say, this has been fun, but very, very time consuming, and this is just for a mythical race meet over 6 weeks or so. I do have alot more respect for racing secretaries everywhere for the work they put into releasing a condition book after the project, too.

Just wanted to vent a little frustration on the day before the project is due...
