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
CLOSE RACING STAKES* - 11F - 2YO - OPEN WIN Gala Royale (Nose) place Hecate show Perseus 4th Zinfandel 5th Superstition
Superstition is still trying to find his groove which may be why he has yet to grace himself with a long awaited win. Don't stress too much over his placing, let him figure out whether he wants to be and he'll be golden. Pull him back into the undercards for just a little bit longer and let him get his head screwed on straight.
Zinfandel, son of the amazing In Front had a time with Perseus. Although he's practiced on both surfaces, he did his usual routine on dropping back which allowed Hecate and Perseus to fight for a good midpack position with the best exit. While these two horses were trying to keep a slow, steady pace - biding their time, Gala edged them right at the end, taking everyone by surprise.
Again there's nothing wrong with any of these horses, just a bunch of closers jostling each other around, daring the other to take the lead first.
INTREPID RACING HANDICAP* - 11F - 2YO - OPEN WIN Usurper (six lengths) place Handsome Loon show Alethea 4th Royal Witch 5th Frosted Sunrise
And usurp he did. Although Usurper was last to break from the gate he was keen to cover loss ground and maintain a lead of three lengths throughout the race. Towards the end he gave off a powerful kick of speed proving just how much potential this colt has. Handsome Loon didn't make the job easy, however. Loon broke cleanly from the gate as well and played cat-and-mouse with Usurper, practically nipping at his heels. These boys enjoy the long distance and this level of competition.
Alethea ran well, although she sped up just a little too late. She could do with a bit more variation in her races outside of 10 furlongs so she knows when to shift gears. Royal Witch and Frosted Sunrise are fine animals, they just need a little more fine-tuning in this level of competition. Either continue them in undercards or you can push them harder in the HOTYs until they get the message.
there’s nothing wrong with them. continue with HOTy races, the competition was tough with hard bent HOTY placed horses
lol first time judging in a while and i’ve already upset someone ahhh but yes there is nothing wrong with them so please don’t be discouraged from racing at the same level. there was no bias among the horses either i don’t even recognize them tbh lol
