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
If I missed a reclaim right, please speak up! Any that simply say 'to sale' I believed did not have any reclaims. If you ever just leased one of these horses, that doesn't constitute reclaim rights, but let the new owner know by PM or in the Discord that you have a breeding! This is NOT a thread to say what horses you're interested in - any of Holly's that don't have reclaims on them are going to the sale, and people that do have reclaims but want to sell them before the sale can do so in a different thread! If you are taking a horse back, please tell us here and post the new link at some point!
If you have reclaims and would like the horse to go in the July sale rather than come back to you, just say so! For Aurelia's horses I tried to use the most recent pages, so most of these are the lease pages.
Older Superb Curiosity - see Holly's list Bayahibe - Stays Forget Me Not - to sale Super Cat - Ren Shuttershock - Registry, to sale National Treasure - with Kenren/Retired Santana's Legend - with Kenren
I do not have buybacks to Arrows Away, Superb Curiosity (before my time lol but I do own the sire) annnnd Jersey Glory can go to sale or who has buybacks to Dreaming Of Glory?, thankies

-hates thinking about reclaims-
Veracious - Sammy, I don't technically have the space for her within my current roster. I don't mind sending her to sale as long as we both maintain buybacks? (Though technically because she's out of Born To Fly I'm strongly considering just overloading myself XD)
War of the Worlds - Kenny continuing to race, we doing some sort of co-ownership deal thing (I think...)
Moonshine, Piece Of Me, Lady Pegasus - all will be coming home with me (gulp WHAT AM I DOING)
For the record, I confirm that War of the Worlds is coming to me co-owned with Frosty, I've taken back Winged Passion and True Sunrise, and The Blue Alien is going to the sale!
Cruisey Thanks Cru I had already entered her W4 a few days back so she'll need to be scratched from the Snowflake Cup. Make sure you get the records from her page on REI as Holly was only updating her site periodically so some of her results aren't there.
S u N f r O s T ~ I love Born to Fly And given I'll be taking Truly Captivating and True Speed back I won't hog all the True Enough babies lol. Veracious can go to sale, if nobody takes her then I will make room for her.
I took back ShotOCool renamed Mochachina, I agree with Isabelle Golden Kingfisher can be sold. I will take back Chaotic Limitations
Boomerang, Miss Lieutenant, Memories Made, Wild Love, and Louisiana Blues can be sold off.
Holly your exact words were 'I know I have a BUNCH of ponies. Please let them go off to good homes.' and 'It may not be for long so my breeding stock can remain untouched,' which didn't insinuate you didn't want the racing age horses to be sold. Honestly you have too many horses for us to rehome as leases. The reclaims need to happen since you may be gone for months, and people have stock in the reclaimable horses. Many of them will likely be willing to give them back when you return, but that's up to them! The ones that have no reclaims can stay with you if you'd prefer.
With Superb Curiousity since I didn’t breed her but I now own her sire (who lacks buybacks outside of the registry) would it possible to just claim Superb instead of putting her through the sale?
I know it’s not typically the custom but it doesn’t hurt to ask I think Also Holly sorry about putting Jersey through the sale but I just want to see her race under colors outside of my stable until you return!
@rendezv If the horses are sold, there'd no guarantee on a return. So if you reclaim a horse and put it through a sale, that sale is final unless the new owner chooses to do something different so keep that in mind, if you do have in the back of your mind that you want the horse to go back to Holly when she gets back. Leasing might be a better option for you if you want to go that route, if you can find someone. As for Superb Curiosity, that's fine!
I was only asking if I could acquire Superb Curiosity as a 'reclaim' lol I'm sorry for the confusion I think what I was trying to say is for Jersey to be raced actively until Holly returns/came back without taking the horse away and giving it back if that makes sense xD
To those of you who reclaimed, if you just want to keep those ponies, please go ahead and do so. I have been needing to cut down on my stock and maybe this is the best way to do it xD. So just keep the ponies please! I just ask for a foalie in the future is all. My goal now is to be back before the sale so those who are pointed to the sale, dont need to go through and I can just keep them. But yes, the reclaims, if you can fit them in...keep them. I need my stock cut anyways and if I ever need to fill in anywhere I have my breeding stock to create a few ponies from if need be. Maybe its best if I do start fresh. So just be sure you have all the ponies stats and all and I will just delete them from my site when I get to updating things. Please and thank you guys. Like I said, goal is to be back before the sale. Im looking at a house and a couple apartments tomorrow and hope to be in a new place by next weekend. Then once Im settled I can work on getting in some wifi and keep my ancient laptop going xD. Miss yall and will pop in from time to time.
I just ask to be able to breed to her one time Ren. Thats it.
Okay. Im gonna get back into the swing of things guys. I would like to start deleting reclaimed ponies from my site and seeing who I have left. I see the links above but I just want to make sure I can get the go ahead to delete them. Like I said, if you reclaimed please feel free to keep them. Those that were going to be sold, I will keep. Its helping me out since I needed to cut down on ponies anyways. So just let me know which ponies I can take off my site and I will do so.
