Dynamic solution with a macro, it's limited by the max number of iterations - in my case 100. Whenever it comes to permutations and combinations I do feel like Python is our friend.

Second time round tackling this problem. Tried to make it fully dynamic so it will get all combos for any number of horses (up to 100 due to max iteration number in macro). Would highly recommend it if anyone else wants that extra layer of difficulty!

Pretty crafty one, interested to see how others have solved this....

I originally started with a generate rows / cartesian join, but figured it was too messy. This way seems to work although it's not very dynamic.

It would appear I solved this over a year ago and never posted my solution . . . ? Past Aiah must have been distracted.

i do not enjoy appends / cartesians but it's the easiest way I could figure it out.
