How the horses were selected:
There are 79 horses on the race card at Lingfield today. I chose Lingfield simply because it is an all-weather track. Some copy-and-paste into Excel shenanigans were involved before the clip starts.
How the matches were selected:
More copy-and-paste manipulation gave me the list of games. All are FA Cup ties at grounds that I have not visited before, from Steps 4-6. (I say 4&5 on the video clip below, but that was a slip of the tongue). The list has all the unvisited Step 4s and 6s in the draw, and an arbitrary selection of Step 5s to make up the numbers. I dropped a few games where Step 5 sides are at home to Step 6 sides to make the total add to 78. I needed one more and it seemed appropriate that it should be at Newmarket Town.
How the horses were randomly linked to the matches:
Here's the proof ...
I've sorted the sheet and tidied up the presentation here into race groups. The odds are indicative and could change, but Brockenhurst are the current favourites to be first on to the Saturday shortlist and Whitstable are now randomly rank outsiders. I will end up with a shortlist of eight "winners", which can be sorted out tomorrow! South Normanton Athletic, AFC Goole and Brimscombe & Thrupp are already out of the picture as their horses have been declared non-runners. Updates to follow at the end of the day!

While the afternoon was in progress, I looked for an equine way of getting the shortlist of eight down to one sole winner. The first race I found with eight runners was the 8.25 at Kempton Park and of course the nice stewards have already randomised them for me if I use their draw number rather than their display number.
