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!

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.

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 😄

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

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

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!

Horse Credit: Will Take Charge

Basics
Name: Her Majesty's Service
YOB: Y15
Gender: Colt
Color: Chestnut
Height: 15.1hh
Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation

Personality: This nippy colt may be on the skittish side - jumping at unusual sounds whenever he hears them - but he has a heart of gold. Her Majesty's Service (known as Bond to those that care for him, after the famous character) is eager to please and incredibly responsive. He's guaranteed to work hard no matter what he's doing - something that makes him a very pleasant horse to train. In the stable and paddocks, he's a reasonable friendly horse; it's when he gets on the track that a competitive side shows.

Her Majesty's Service does not like the starting gate at all. It takes a while to lure him in and, once the gate opens, he bolts out as fast as he can. He then settles towards the front of the pack, though not in the lead if he can help it, for the majority of the race. A little on the shorter side, Bond's size helps him gain an edge when it comes to navigating the pack - allowing him just a touch more room to slip in between his competitors and overtake them.

Relying both on his own instinct and the guidance of his jockey, Her Majesty's Service will slowly start to speed up during the second half of the race - weaving in and out of the other horses as he moves past them. If he isn't in the lead by the final turn, he'll make a last minute dash for the lead and put all his strength into rushing past those in front of him.

Racing Statistics

Running Style: Preceder
Distance: 5-8 furlongs
