Here's a suggestion: for every 50 feet of the race, roll 6 dice. If a 1 comes up for that character and horse, they have gone 51 ft. a 2, 52 ft. and so on. That gives a fairly close race. How long is the course, by the way? It had better not be a mere 1/4 mile, which makes me wonder if it could really fit inside Scarburg?
I'll go read Saeryn's reaction now....
