D-format divisions and entry-range payouts, calculated for you

Speedy Steeds builds your divisions from the fastest qualifying run. Each division is defined by an increment - the seconds added to the fastest time that set its upper boundary - so a typical 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D race falls out automatically, and you can configure as many divisions as your race uses. Enter a time once and every rider lands in the right division.

Payouts come from entry fees plus added money. Each division takes its share by payout percentage, then an entry-range table decides how many places pay based on how many entered: maybe one place at five entries, three places past eleven. When a division has fewer entries than the places it would pay, the unclaimed money becomes ground money instead of disappearing. Added money splits evenly or by ratio to match your association's rulebook.

Single-screen averages and a short go that builds itself

Run multiple go-rounds and keep every round, the average, and the short go on one screen. The average across go-rounds determines short-go qualification, and you can let the program build the short go automatically for the number of riders you set.

Placements, payouts, and points recalculate the moment a time, penalty, or no-time changes - no second screen and no re-figuring by hand between rounds. Penalties are their own columns, so a knocked barrel or a no-time is one click, not a recalculation.

Offline at the arena, live on the web

Your show lives in a local database on your machine, so the office runs a full race - entries, draws, results, payouts, and standings - with no internet at all, and it backs itself up every time it starts. The arena never waits on a signal.

When you do have a connection and an active subscription, results and draws publish to your show page on the web automatically as you work, or in a batch when you choose. Day-of, contestants and railbirds can also pull up live results from their phones on the local network while the program is running.

Online pre-registration that fills your draw

Contestants find your race on speedysteeds.com and enter with a simple form - no account to create. Returning riders are matched by email to their existing record, so horses and memberships come with them. If an organization requires membership at entry, the form collects it.

Entries arrive ready to draw, with buddy requests, sidepot opt-ins, and conditional out-if flags already attached. Entry caps show remaining spots and close the class when it fills, and pre-registration closes automatically 24 hours before the show or at a deadline you set. Pull everything into the desktop with one fetch.

Season and circuit points across your organizations

Group shows into a season and Speedy Steeds keeps the standings for you, points-based for clubs like NBHA and IBRA or money-won for associations that rank by dollars earned. A single co-sanctioned run can earn points in more than one organization at once.

Each organization carries its own rules: member-only or open scoring, member or entry split for division boundaries, base points, minimum place, a max-time cutoff, and tie handling. Add circuits and districts - including a roving catch-all - and filter year-end standings to any circuit, with all-around and daily-high-point awards when your group runs them.
