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
Basics Name: Buffalo Fuzz YOB: Y17 Gender: Colt Color: Bay Height: 16.3hh Pedigree: Jovial (CR) x Sassy Sashay (CR)
Personality: - "Tatanka" is a gorgeous creature, but he doesn't seem to know it. He is possibly the most humble a horse one can meet, his nature is as soft and quiet as his body is solid and filled in with muscle. He's calm, cool as a cucumber and in a constant state of relaxation it seems, even when being saddled up, galloped or paraded to the post. He is often a touch slow at the break and settles comfortably in the middle of the field where he can still have a good view of the leaders while running five to ten lengths off the pace, he likes to run a little away from the rail and swing wide into the stretch for his closing drive. He can patiently wait until the final hundred yards to edge passed his rivals, or overtake them at the top of the stretch given the distance of the race. Moving between horses in larger fields is proving a little challenging, he lacks some confidence here after clipping heels with another horse in a workout and falling before Greasy Creek acquired him. Tack: rubber ring bit, flash noseband.
Basics Name: Deadshot Dahlia YOB: Y17 Gender: Filly Color: Bay Height: 16.2hh Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation
Personality: - "Dahlia" is a bit skittish and loves to kick the crap out of almost everything; stable hands, other horses, her stall, the starting gates. She's bitten a few people as well but usually it's a mistake, she was just trying to grab their clothes. She's a pain in the ass to put it bluntly but there is hope she'll grow out of it. On the track she is steadily learning how to mind her jockey and now relies on her rider to make the big decisions but for the most part she is relatively well behaved when she has to focus on running and maneuvering. She is a brave filly and will not hesitate to split horses and scrape stirrups, she's also clipped the rail a time or two. She's fleet and agile, her turn of foot, when she's at the peak of her fitness, is something to be seen and she often makes others look like they are running backward when she closes in the final eighth of a mile. She is patient and if the pace sets up for her, she is a force to be reckoned with, so keep an eye out over your shoulder when this pistol fires.
