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

Basics
Name: Maverick
YOB: Y19
Gender: Colt
Color: Bay
Height: 15.3 ||will mature to 16.3hh
Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation
Personality: Maverick is the reason why Thoroughbreds are classified as hot blooded. While he isn't aggressive or mean he is constantly moving. Jittery, spooky, and ready to run at the slightest prompt. He is very intelligent and needs a very attentive handler and jockey who will be able to contain the colts energy. Mav is very confident and expressive and he will definitely let his handler know when he doesn't like something. His mind is always working and he needs a lot of stimulation to keep him busy. He loves watermelon and other cool treats. When hes not on the racetrack he loves going on on walks, getting groomed and spending time with Kiara, the companion mare on the farm. She really helps calm him down. On the track he is even more fired up. He loves to run and his jockey always has a hard time keeping him in check. He's quite competitive and doesn't like having horse in front of him. He gets very frustrated when he can't take the lead. Entering the gate is always a hassle with Mav as he hates being confined and get overly excited by the other horses. Because of this he breaks fast, sprinting to the lead and holding it. If he gets stuck among other horses he will fight to break out, and his jockey often has to be on high alert. Once he's free of others though he runs fast with nothing on his mind but the finish line.

Basics
Name: Queen Celine
YOB: Y19
Gender: Filly
Color: Bay
Height: 15.1hh ||Wil be 16.2hh
Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation
Personality: Celine is a funny filly. She has a quite non-cholent attitude about everything and doesn't really pay any special attention to anything. She's sweet and likes attention and doesn't have much of an attitude. She not very bright and learning new things is a struggle. But shes very brave and always tries her best even though she doesn't always understand what people are asking of her. She doesn't spook easily and doesn't get excited over much. On the track she is usually very calm and acts much older than she is. She likes to stay close to other horses. The gate provides no problem for her now even though the idea of breaking from the gate was a challenge to learn during her training. She breaks fast but usually slows does on her own and settles down comfortably mid-pack. She has good stamina and can hold a steady and fast pace. The struggle comes when her jockey has to urge her away from the pack and to the front.
