Meeting

Object type

A race meeting — a series of races held at one course on one date. The root aggregate for the racing-data hierarchy. A course may host more than one meeting on the same date (e.g. an evening fixture in addition to the afternoon one); these are separate Meeting rows sharing course and meetingDate. Multi-day festivals (Cheltenham, Royal Ascot) are modelled as one Meeting per day, not a single multi-day entity.
