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
It's time to say a fond farewell to some of our older racers. The HOTY competition is pretty spectacular this year, and these four seem to have hit their limit. Most know REI doesn't take retirements lightly, but we're learning to let go when it feels right.
Seize The Throne has been with us for a while, first through a long term lease and then as a purchase. He's done us proud reaching grade one, and given he won't come back for a seven year old season, we didn't want him to run into the ground chasing the tails of competitors. He's earned his retirement, his last race was a second in the Regal Max Marathon. He'll be giving us a foal next season out of Kalahari, her last foal.
Don't Count Me Out is one of our first bred foals, and we've never seen her put a hoof wrong. She took some time to mature, and there's no reason to keep pushing her at this point in her career. Her last race was a very respectable second at the Summer Cup, and we're pleased to have her enter our breeding program. Her first foal will be for FSR, a homebred out of our own Tiger Heart. We can't wait to see if it'll be a boy or a girl!
Maleficent came to us around the middleish of her career, and she did wonderful things with us during her 4YO season. We feel she's proven herself, but with her thirditis, we're afraid she might not catch up to her competitors before the year is out. Since we're eagerly awaiting twins from her next year with Pied Piper, we're more than content to let her rest in the pasture and gestate our upcoming fillies! Her final stand will be at GHF June week three, and we hope she can go out with a bang!
Phoenix Inferno is another of our original crop of foals. He was a very respectable and dependable undercarder for us, and won a nice mile HOTY race earlier this season. As his record shows he doesn't appear to be able to match his counterparts on the tracks, so we're comfortable with letting him head to the paddocks now. His last race will be at the Seashell Cup at GHF June week four, and we also hope he puts in one last valiant effort! Next season he and Justa Little Cutie are paired up for a brilliantly pedigreed foal, that will boast solidly proven lines from SOPS, ARS, IRS, and BBS!
We would also like to acknowledge at this time that a few more of our older string may also retire in 3-4 months, depending on how they continue to race. We also appreciate feedback during race results to help guide us in the right direction. <3
