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
Hip 057 - Greater Avalanche bl. f. by Mount Machiador (CR), out of Great Drama IF to Dark Charmer
Next into the ring is a Valkyrie foundation mare, created and raced for the farm before now being offered to the public. Greater Avalanche was retired after only two seasons of racing, but she was very consistent throughout her short career. She retired a G5 runner. Greater Avalanche is already a successful broodmare, with her first and only colt to race being a HOTY winner. Mudslide, a juvenile, is already the winner of the In Stride Handicap* and the FTH Juvenile Turf Mile*. The mare is also half to good runner Rebound, who has also been incredibly consistent so far in his career. This mare is being offered in foal to Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile* winner Dark Charmer. As well as being a successful racehorse himself, Dark Charmer is also the sire of currently-running, near-G1 runner Hurricane, incredibly consistent G2 runner Royal Charm, consistent (are we seeing a trend here?) runner Devil You Know, and The Wire Finish Cup Juvenile Dirt*-winning juvenile Inner Storm. This is a stallion on the rise, and while his foals up until now have been late-bloomers, he's about to have an incredible Y19 with them! So hop onto this train before he's retired for good.
Grey's Wisdom was a foundation horse created by the now New Hope Pastures before being sold on to Valkyrie, where he raced nearly his entire career. He finished a G1 racehorse with only three placings out of the money in his entire career, which was jeweled with a win in the Danthebluegrassman Stakes* and placings in many HOTYs his senior season. He was a great horse to learn the racing ropes with, and he'll be a great horse for someone's first dive into breeding.
Hip 059 - Happenstance b. f. by Fairly Frank (CR), out of Harp (CR) IF to Wyvern for a Y19 foal
The last mare into the ring is certainly not the least. This pretty bay mare is an unraced Valkyrie foundation, and though she only has one foal to race, that foal is a strong one! Hurricane is a G2 gelding that has been incredible consistent, most notable not finishing out of the money his entire three-year-old year. He is one win off of G1, and has a bright future ahead of him. She also has a weanling by Speak Easy. This mare is offered in foal to Wyvern, winner of the Super Derby* (sand last leg of the 3yo distance series) and placed in the Queen's Plate* (CTC), the Breeders' Stakes* (CTC), the Pennsylvania Derby* (DDS), and the Ohio Derby* (DDS). This will be his first foal on the ground, and a great offering by the son of Kyoujin! Wyvern, through his parents, is half to Hall of Famer Limited Edition, G1 runners Prideful Limits and Sweetness Unlimited, and Prince of Wales Stakes* (CTC) winner Firestorm.
This horse can only be sold to someone who has bought less than five horses in the sale so far, or otherwise has less than three broodmares in their barn.
