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
When we acquired Roundtable Rival from the Y17 New Years Sale, the plan was to build him up and sell him to a new home, as we are with so many others under the banner of Perennial Racing Stable. And like those older maiden racers, Rio has found win after win in the lower ranks. And while we know that will likely change when he finds harder competition in the higher grades to come, we've decided that the sprinter colt is more valuable to us as a stallion someday than he is as a price tag in a sale. Valkyrie's dual- and dirt-surfaced sprinter stallions have traditionally had a large number of outside foals. Therefore, having one stallion freely open for our stock will be highly beneficial. The colt will be making the trip from PRS to Valkyrie proper soon, and will next run under the purple silks in March.
We would like to remind others as well that all horses at PRS are open to offers if they're not being leased. Information on each of the horses can be found at the bottom of their pages. A number of them will be offered at the Y18 July Sale, though they are open to early offers as well! PM me and we'll talk.
Additionally, Valkyrie has recently added two more horses to their ranks. The first is Bizarre Twist, a filly by Ar Y Ffin's stallion Bizarre Act. Through her dam, Twista Luck, Bizarre Twist is half to Whattatwist, a three-year-old filly one win away from G4. It is a young pedigree, but we've seen a lot of promise in her and we're excited to see what she'll do from here on out! She's currently resting from a 4th-place finish, her last under Montgomery colors, and we hope to run her back the first week of March.
Our other grab from Montgomery is an exciting pedigree for us, found in a tiny bay package named Italian Fury. The filly is by True Italian, particularly exciting for us as it makes her a close relation to our stallion Baciami through his dam. As if that wasn't enough, the filly is out of Stalker's Fury, a daughter of Night Stalker and Rising Fury. While we have other Night Stalker relations, namely the good Filly and Mare Turf division runner Stalking The Stars, Rising Fury is a mare we've got very little stock in save for a filly by one of her sons, Silent Fury. All in all the filly is beautifully bred and looks the part.
Altogether it's been an exciting end to February at Valkyrie, and we're very excited to see what the coming months bring!
