He gives us some very vague numbers of horses in the stalls, so we have to calculate the number of races per class level according to stalls, and design our own claiming/allowance levels.

The instructor is a former Racing Secretary at some big tracks, so he is a good resource, and allows those with limited racing experience to get the basics and those with some decent knowledge of the sport to expand and make it as fun as we like.

I have definately learned that there is alot of stuff that you would never think about that goes into making a condition book.

He will have to have the 2 or 3 trainers
with the largest number of horses help him.
So that should be a part of the project.
He should get automatic input from them.
Would make the project a little easier.

Only when it comes to stalls, but either way it is more about accepting them without notice...

Yeah, I should have picked you brain on it a little more. I think Doug gets a little pleasure in watching everyone struggle on it. Of course, I was up until around 3 the night before it was due still working on it like alot of students.

Still a great project, although I didn't get my ladders to look quite right...
