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
We reported recently that there were rumors spreading in regards to the return of Alexia Harshing to the local racing scene after she was found to have purchased land in the area and had been spotted in meetings with Golden Valley Racing's trainer and owner, Chris Tipton. We are now able to confirm that this is indeed the case and that Golden Valley Racing is now part of Blackwood Equestrian - an umbrella title for Golden Valley Racing and Sunset Garden Stud.
Chris Tipton will continue as the trainer for Golden Valley Racing while Alexia Harshing and Lucas Lanning will be in charge of bloodstock and youngstock over at Sunset Garden Stud.
In further news, the Golden Valley Racing roster has further increased following recent acquisitions: First Class, the son of Passionate Class has ran this season in the Stride Of Perfection Stables colors but was entered into the May Sale where Chris was eager to acquire him - stating that his pure racing power could not be ignored and very excited by the three HoTY wins he has claimed so far this season. Alexia was also keen to point out his wonderful pedigree, and potential for becoming a breeding powerhouse as a descendant of two classy SOPS studs.
Russian Agent originally debuted as a 2yo as a trainee of Alexia at Briar Grove before becoming lost when the doors were closed. He was rehomed last year and has been a strong presence on the track since. He raced for the first time in the GVS colors in May Week 1 when he finished 3rd in the Rumab Stakes - a result that everyone is convinced he can improve on.
Waldemar is a 4yo who has ran consistently throughout his career, making big leaps forward during Y18 and having claimed 2 wins this season. He shows a lot of potential and is definitely still improving. Chris feels this handsome stallion stands every chance to improve in the next few months and hopes to see him claiming more wins in the near future.
The final purchase for the racing division was juvenile Dynamite, who has yet to break her maiden in the dirt sprints and miles. Lightly raced so far, she will surely benefit from some careful entries and should soon gain the confidence required to break her maiden.
Alexia also had a fairly successful sale, purchasing the G3 stallion Chiquato who is represented by his first runner this season and offers some fairly fresh lines to the stable's stock. She was also able to purchase Afuhrmative, dam of quick-improved Platinum Fuhr, in foal to Y18 Winter Dawn Treader Cup winner Monarch's Journey.
