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
Born To Soar "Sophia" was bred to be a star, and that is exactly what she became. Sired by Hall Of Fame inductee The Natural, and out of G1 mare Born To Fly, she had a lot to live up to and she made a name for herself in no time. Her first season of racing, as a two year old, Sophia won seven times putting her firmly into G3, a feat rarely achieved by a two year old. Among her wins was the Gallop To The Gallows Stakes*, The Youth Challenge*, and the BREEDER'S CUP JUVENILE FILLIES*. These three big wins were enough for her to win two HOTY awards, Y9 Best Two Year Old Filly and Y9 Best Grade Three.
Sophia's three year old season began with a bang. She took out the Unicorn Horn Fillies* with style, and then began her campaign for the Triple Tiara, winning the Alabama Stakes* and the Ruffian Stakes*. Successful in two of three Tiara prep races, Born To Soar then turned her attention to the Triple Tiara itself, and went down in GHF's history as the first ever Triple Tiara Champion! Her success for the season however didn't stop there, and after winning several more races she went on to win the Dubai Filly Cup*, and then the BREEDER'S CUP LADIES CLASSIC*. This brought her win tally to thirteen wins for the season, and twenty career wins. Born To Soar practically swept the Y10 HOTY awards, winning Best Dirt Horse, Best Three Year Old Filly, Filly Of The Year and best of all, RACEHORSE OF THE YEAR.
Her four year old season was off to a good start, when the filly won the Unicorn Horn Classic* over her older half sister Wildly Natural. Her Y11 season would see more turf races, and therefore she would see more of Wildly Natural. Her older sister was better on the turf, but Born To Soar still managed to take wins over her in races such as the Continental Cup* and Universal Cup*. Although the filly did not win any HOTY Awards for racing in Y11, she did win encouragement awards and was named a Mare To Watch as she was entering retirement. Throughout her four year old season, Sophia gained a further 9 wins, bringing her career record to 59-29-17-9.
