Races close on Mondays at 9PM EST! Our Next Sale Begins: January Y22.
02/05/23 We're almost ready to kick off the New Year here at Final Furlong! The New Years Sale is still OPEN for bids - lots of ponies needing homes! As well, we're hoping to close January Week One races by MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6. However, if we need to extend closing date so more people can get entered, just let us know in the Discord. In addition to getting your pages ready, don't forget to use your bonus points if you'd like!
01/29/23 Congratulations to KENREN for winning the Y21 Breeders' Cup Betting Contest! You've won a breeding reserve to FIFTY DREAMS (Firestone Stud) and 2x 2 furlong extensions + 5 bonus horse points! Lolly finished 2nd, and Cruisey finished 3rd.
12/08/22 The Breeder's Cup Betting Contest will make a return for Y21!!! It'll be a little bit different because of the new points system, but get ready for some end of year fun 😄
11/21/22 Entries for the New Year Sale are now open! We know it seems a bit early, but with life things we're going to need time to make sure things are right lol. Please follow the link here: https://final-furlong.proboards.com/thread/2304/y22-new-year-sale
08/20/22 Judging has been the basis for issues for a long time - taking too long, drama regarding results, bias, etc. Kenren has attempted to put a points system together that keeps the spirit of our system while streamlining and standardizing the process. It's a lot to take in, but once you get in the swing of it, preparing pages with these points takes way less time than doing a layout change lol! If you have any questions, please post them in the judging-help channel on Discord for now. If anyone needs help with anything, please let an admin know! We would like to give everyone one week to get things settled, and then we would like to run July Wk 2 using this system closing 8/27/22 (or earlier if everyone is ready). If it works out, we would like to run two game weeks per RL week to get things moving! Thank you all so much for being her!e
07/27/22 To start July off fresh, we've been playing around with a new theme for Final Furlong! Make sure to check out 'Sonorous' under your profile ❤️ Feel free to use whatever theme works best for yourself. We can't wait to get back to racing!
07/21/22 it's official! We're back! It looks like June Wk 4 was almost fully judged, so make sure you get that updated if you hadn't! We will plan to close the next week (July Wk 1) on Thursday, August 4th. This close day may change, but it's not a bad place to start! For now we'll be doing one game week per RL week to get back into things. Please remember that starting the second half of the year, 3yos can compete against older horses without automatic lower placements.
As an aside, because this is fairly sudden after a whole year, we will not be allowing reclaims on horses for members not currently active for a few months. We will readdress this going forward if needed. Thank you all for understanding!
07/08/22 GO answer the poll ❤️ https://final-furlong.proboards.com/thread/2232/ff-restart-poll

New Girls
May Y19
Memoriae Racing has taken ownership over a number of horses as the stable builds its foundations. Two girls in particular, one quite a recent addition, have not been in the spotlight quite a bit. These two are none other than the four year old Southern Hemisphere and three year old Veracious. This article is to focus on these girls, their quirks and their talents, hoping to help familiarise others with the personalities of the barn and these two stunning horses.
Southern Hemisphere is a boisterous grey mare born in Y15. This girl doesn't have a bad bone in her body, she loves all the treats and company she can get. This girl is comfortable running at 7-10 furlongs preferably on turf, with the slightly shorter races seemingly being her favourite distances. This girl's energy is stunning, especially during races, as a stalker she is always towards the front and pushing the leaders as far as they can go before eventually aiming to overtake them in the last stretch. Of course, this is sometimes risky at longer races however we have confidence in South and in workouts she hasn't let us down. She is currently a maiden mare, and we hope to break this maiden in the next month or so if entered well. We have high hopes for this girl, but we have no doubt that she will do well for us.
Veracious is our newest addition to Memoriae Racing, a young maiden filly by HOF True Enough and G1 Born to Fly. Vera unfortunately sat unraced in her two year old season, and only featured in two races as a prospect. This dual router filly has so much potential, and we are eager to get her back on the track and consistently racing. This girl is always a little iffy in the stable, a constantly switching mood you never know if she'll be all up in your face looking for treats or ready to kick and bite. She's also a little bit of trouble on the track, only running when she wants to run but once she's out there she's a stunner. Much like South, Vera is a stalker and is much like South in many ways on the track However, Vera is a lot more aggressive while running, she's constantly taunting the front-runners, and during longer races she's always pushing and then holding back slightly in attempts to tire them out. In the backstretch this girl explodes, and it's a sight to see. She sprints to the finish line, overtaking everyone she can in hopes of taking home a win.
