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

Lynara's Kingdom brings a fascinating story to the table for Hall Of Fame consideration. The gray mare was born a promising sprinting prospect. Despite the fact that her dam was unproven at the time, her sire was a Breeders Cup Sprint champion and retired grade one. Lynara proved to be an early standout as a juvenile, winning her first start in the Shortstride Maiden Dirt and then her second start as well in the Unicorn Horn Juvenile Dirt Sprint.
For some reason, the rest of her juvenile season was subpar. She went completely downhill and it left the racing world scratching their heads as to why. We believe it was her temper and her variable racing style, something even experienced jockey Amber Black had to get used to. The pair went through a season with the majority of places outside of the top three but posted a third place finish in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Sprint to conclude it. Following an interesting juvenile campaign, Lynara entered her classic season with a lot to prove...but with a lot more maturity as well.
Lynara proved how unbelievable she was by winning her very first start back in the Unicorn Horn Dirt Mile. The unbelievable aspect of this win was that in the process she beat last season's Breeders Cup Classic winner Sunset Crusade. That's right - already, at three years old, in her first start, Lynara took down the giant of the previous crop at a mile. Words could not describe how hopes soared for Lynara's campaign following this victory. In fact, the magical mare won four straight races to begin her classic season campaign, one of those being the Wire Finish Cup Mile. Later on in the season she won the Monrovia Stakes, Starshine Sprint and Tick Tock Sprint among others. Lynara excelled at both a mile and at the sprinting distances and concluded the season with a second place finish in the Breeders Cup Mile over the turf.
This mare continued to impress as a four year old, running one of the most impressive seasons a racehorse had won. By the end of it, Lynara had taken thirteen races, twelve of those being in Horse Of The Year selection races. Among her victories were the Test Stakes, another rendition of the Wire Finish Cup (this time in the Sprint), the Burst Stakes, Short Stakes, Sprint Stakes and the Sun Festival. She barely lost during the season, only finishing out of the top two once, and concluded with an almost easy victory in the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile. This was the season that marked Lynara as a champion over the dirt, a champion sprinter and miler who would be remembered for the ages.
Lynara did attempt a senior season that was cut short, mainly to see if she could win a third Wire Finish Cup race. She placed second in the Wire Finish Cup Turf to Turf Triple Crown winner Bella Luna, and that's not a feat to be disappointed with. She was retired early on in the season after running a sensational, truly Hall-of-Fame worthy career.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS Lynara won a cascade of important races throughout her career, including two different Wire Finish Cups and the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile. She won a lot of major sprinting races as well. Lynara was a feared competitor during her three and four year old seasons and she won slews of important races. Every time she stepped on the track, she won with style and the method that she won with remained a surprise each time. Her variable racing style brought fun to the racetrack, her deadly temper brought fire and her amazing speed brought wonder to the crowds that saw her race.
