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

"Hello! Do you have a minute?"
Oh no, you think, it's that bloke from King of the Hill Stables. The familiar British accent fills you with a sense of dread. What does he want now? What's that he's holding? Is that a questionnaire or petition of some kind? Dear Lord, you do not have time for this right now.
You pointedly ignore him, purposely increasing the length of your strides as you attempt to get away quickly before-
Damn. He's standing in front of you now, holding out the questionnaire and a pen. On it, you can see the names of horses and a few boxes to fill in their stats. What is this?
It's too late now to escape - you've met his eyes and now social expectations demand that you at least politely fill out whatever he's got. Luckily, as you do so, he begins to explain what he's doing, and you realise that maybe this may be worth your time after all.
Hey guys! Personal curiosity demands that I look into whether or not leg type trends have developed since I looked into them last year, and this year I was hoping that I could cut down the time I spent working on this by asking you all to help out with filling out info for your horses!
I think most of it is pretty self explanatory, but if you have any questions please do ask! It took me about 10-15 mins to do my horses.
If your horse as a leg type that is a combination of two (e.g. preceder/mid-pack, dueller/stalker), please select "multiple" as the leg type. This includes if the combination includes a unique leg type (e.g. closer/on your left).
If your horses has a leg type that is not on the list, please select "other". This includes completely new leg types (e.g. rail hugger) and leg types that boil down to being a specialised version of an already existing one (e.g. strong closer, savage stalker).
The things that I am hoping to look into with this include:
Popularity by distance
Popularity by age group, and if trends have significantly changed since looking into this last year
If popular leg types change depending on surface
What fun, new leg type ideas are out of there, maybe writing up my understanding of how some of them work
Hopefully, this will end up being useful for you all, whether that be because you're curious, you want to ensure that your horse isn't likely racing in fields full of their same leg type, or because you just want to know what ideas are out there that you can 'borrow' when you next write up personalities!
Thanks for any help! If you don't have time to fill out any info, don't worry! I'll fill in any gaps myself before I start making graphs 😊
