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

why should he be inducted? Who doesn't know the name Hellfire? This daughter of Catching Fire has become a top-class individual and has proven her abilities to compete against the top. At age two, Flame captured big wins, eventually landing herself a win in the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies to top off a stellar season. Flame was nominated for HOTY awards and managed to snag herself Y15's Best Two Year Old Filly. Her consistency followed into her 3yo season, where she took victories in two legs of the Red Mile series at The Wire against some of the top 3yo milers. Flame put in a hard fought effort in the Breeder's Cup Mile against the 6 best milers and landed herself a third. Her 4yo season was consistent and clean, earning 6 HOTY points with races such as the Godolphin Mile and the Perfect Sting Stakes. At 5, Flame took the Dubai World Mile against Stride of Perfection's beast mare Cyclonaria, and against our own Dancing On Nails. Flame has only ever placed out of the money 3 times in her entire career has a 95% consistency rating. Her page can be found here if you need to look at her accomplishments.
While I think Hellfire was a brilliant filly, she just doesn't have that HOF WOW for me. She did what a lot of her other peers did, winning classy HOTY races and she was serious competition, but not the kind to land her in HOF - in my opinion.
While I adore her and think she is a heck of a mare, I just am looking for that thing that truly puts her in HOF company and I don't see that transcendence at the moment.
