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
There they go! It’s Arrows Away in an enormous lunge from the gate, nearly taking his gate handler with him out of the door. He’s captured the front at the rail with no challenger. Authentic Aura is bounding after him, but giving him space, the pair of ladies in this race look collected and prepared today. Englishman is taking the third position at the back, unphased by being a few long lengths off the leader. They’re in a for a nice long burn today at nearly a marathon level, so their pace is thus far conservative but still energetic.
Arrows Away has been struggling this year, his owners have been trying to shape him back up into the condition he was last season when he took the Novizio Derby running away. He’d eyed up Englishman before the race began but isn’t flicking an ear back at all to check on the filly. Her gallop is strong today, she’s been hot on the heels of her heavy hitting HOTY competition this season, always in near missing seconds. She’s hungry for power today, and her game face is on. Englishman took a difficult fifth at the Summer Dawn Trader Cup, but he hasn’t lost his form. He has a little catch up to do grade wise but he’s still as classy as ever.
Rounding the last turn nobody has been making any moves, this work is a simple go-round so far today. And here we come into the last few furlongs, Englishman is making his way up from the back. Authentic Aura has sprung forward! Look at that speed! Chloe has asked for full power and the filly is giving it! Arrows Away has been taken by surprise, Authentic Aura has passed him and is running away! Arrows Away has pulled it together and is pacing harder to catch up and here comes Englishman neck and neck with the other colt! Arrows Away is challenged now and sticking in a new gear but there goes Authentic Aura across the wire followed by the colts two lengths behind.
