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

Italian Ice grew into a champion at both GHF and TW, but the one track Icee loved most of all was the Wire. To start, as a juvenile Icee conducted the majority of her campaign at GHF. However, whenever Icee ran on the tracks here, she won. In fact, all five of the starts Icee made at TW as a juvenile resulted in wins, indicating early on her preference for this track and her ability to leave a lasting impression here.
Leave a lasting impression she did. Italian Ice became the Wire's first Canadian Triple Crown winner after placing second in the Belmont Turf Classic and switching her campaign to here. She proved herself to be indomitable in those attempts. What other thing can a potential Wire Legend do than set the example by becoming a Triple Series winner here, for the Wire's own unique three year old classic series? Though Icee still raced the majority of the time as a three year old at GHF, she left an impression here that no person could forget.
During her final season, Italian Ice raced solely at The Wire. Her only starts off this track resulted in her worst finishes for the season. If it hadn't been clear before, Icee certainly demonstrated her ability as a four year old. She won every race she possibly could, including a second Wire Finish Cup race, a Dawn Treader Cup and one race in the Risorgimento Series. She capped off the season with a win in the Breeders Cup Distaff over her favorite track.
In sum, Italian Ice won the Canadian Triple Crown as well as a Dawn Treader Cup, two Wire Finish Cup races and a leg of the Risorgimento Series. The previous poll showed Icee was dead even between being a champion and a legend. Since Icee is at least a champion, I decided to open up another poll dealing solely with the question of whether Icee is a Legend.
