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
The fog covered the quiet track that morning. The large bay mare pranced excitedly as she stood there, waiting. The small rider mounted up and a group of people followed the pair to the foggy track. The mare spotted a few other horses running along the track and her ears flew backwards. She continued forward, but was seemingly put in a severely agressive mood. Her feet hit the soft turf and she picked up a jog. Just as her rider gathered up the reins and prepared to ask for speed, another horse rounded the corner and came upon the mare. Seeing some competion, the mare sprang forward and gave it all the speed she had. Her rider was suprised but took the crouch anyway, as fighting her was pointless. She would win anyway. The bay mare thundered down the track, gaining a lead on the horse behind her. Soon she neared another horse breezing around the track, and she managed for find just a little more to pull even with the horse. She kept pace, and her jockey ensured that she wasn't going to further her already interestingly absurd workout. The mare finally started to slow on her own, and as her jockey checked her a time or two, she finally slowed to a soft canter. "You may have an insane will but you need to learn some manners, missy." Her jockey said to her as she finished out her workout. "That one looked like great fun, was it not?" One of the people on the rail called out to the jockey on the bay mare. Her rider shook his head a little and let the mare slow until she was ready to go back to the comforts of her stall. Her jockey slid off and stopped by the group of onlookers for a quick chat. "How was she today?" The jockey asked as he patted the mare on the neck, only to be met with an angry look from the horse. "She ran good, but was a bit slower than usual. But she ran with heart indeed." The one that hadn't turned to the mare said as he scribbled noted down in the notebook perched on the rail. The jockey nodded and pulled the mare's reins slightly until she jogged off with him back to the sweet luxury of her stall. "Feisty one, is she not? She's gonna be a force once she hits the track. It's not gonna be a good day for her competion."
