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

More Reasons Why Forbidden To Fly is an incredibly unique horse. As a juvenile, this colt flirted with flexibility. He regularly went out - and defeated - the horses of his generation that were destined for the Triple Crown. In his very first win ever, Forbidden To Fly defeated such horses as Paradise Island (who would go on to win the Triple Tiara) and Euphoria's Warrior. Fly was bred a sprinter, at six to nine furlongs, but he ascended that. He won again at the peak of his distance range in the Just A Trot Futurity, a leg of the Youth Challenge. To cap off his season, Fly stole the ultimate race - the Breeders Cup Juvenile. And in doing so, he defeated the highly touted Instant Success as well as future Hall Of Fame inductee and Kentucky Derby winner Eternal Phantom. Winning the juvenile usually makes you the early favorite for the Triple Crown. Too bad Fly didn't actually run at any of the distances in the fabled series.
Three year old sprinters back in Fly's day didn't have a Triple Sprinter Crown or Red Mile series to aim at. Thus, Fly spent his season running in the undercards at The Wire, winning consistently and carving himself a place in the ranks. As a four year old, Fly began to wage true war. He took several HoTY races and only finished out of the top two twice. It was as a five year old that Fly took no prisoners. He duked it out with Hall Of Fame inductee Mastermind. It quickly became known that Fly was the master of six and seven furlongs, with Mastermind typically having the edge for eight furlongs and up. Fly concluded his season with only five losses (all of them second place finishes). But to conclude his career, Fly took on the best sprinters over both surfaces in the Dubai World Sprint and came out with an electrifying victory.
This truly fast yet dangerously flexible horse deserves a place in the Hall Of Fame for all of these accomplishments.
