Shuffle and lock
The button visibly performs one independent Fisher–Yates shuffle for horses and owner slots through 160 rapid processing cycles over 13 seconds. Both matrices rapidly change tile positions as well as highlights, then the single server-generated result is sealed.
Sweep · Step 3

This page never displays the two locked lists. It shows one owner–horse pairing at a time for the person recording the results on paper.
