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

[attr="class,"bioentry"]Tappers, as he is called in the barn, is a colt of drive and ambition and suits his namesake perfectly because this guy always has more in the tank. He's known for being a ball of energy and needs to be occupied when stalled. With all of his bouncing energy, he is best housed outside more often than not, with lots of toys to occupy this colt's voracious curiosity and appetite to know more. Even with his high energy, Tappers is a colt that is easy to love and work with. Give him a job and he will throw every ounce of himself behind the task. He's that hard working type of horse who is motivated by the desire to please. This plain brown wrapper of a colt is more than his simple coloring and has easily won over the heart of anyone he's encountered. The one major flaw about Tappers is that if he isn't being worked to keep his energy levels under control, you will find destructive behaviors abound and if that doesn't get your attention that something isn't right with the usually happy-go-lucky colt, then his grumpy attitude shift is imminent. The plus side to this flaw? It doesn't take much to turn this colt around. Spend some quality time with him, work him on the track and he'll bounce back like nothing ever happened at all.
Tappers has some versatility to him when it comes to racing. While he has an excess of energy, he usually breaks a tad behind the others, but it doesn't disqualify this guy from making up any ground. Rather than expending all of his energy to push to contend with the leaders, he's smart enough to settle in either just off the pace behind them or settle into the pack. He definitely prefers the ground farther from the rail and even though this means he has to travel farther than his opponents, it doesn't hinder him in the slightest. Once the end is near, one tap from his rider and he unleashes all of his fury and energy into the sprint for home. He has an uncanny ability to make a path where there seems to be none and he will charge to the finish with a turn of foot that will take your breath away. Once he see's the end in sight, he withholds nothing and will fight to the finish and it's all for the praise and recognition he knows that he will receive at the end. What can we say? He's just a good old people pleaser.
