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

Grayson Meadows to send two maidens May week 4
Grayson Meadows abrupt return to racing is something the whole world has noticed and while the stable has remained very hush hush about what has been going on beyond their barn doors we finally got some insight from new owner Hadley Grayson about what's been going on. Since the recent sudden passing of her brother Tanner Grayson, Grayson Meadows has remained underground, they sold much of their racing and breeding stock and no one expected them to come back. Hadley Grayson admitted that she had zero intentions of returning but for some reason she just couldn't stay away. After finding the rest of the Grayson Meadows team and making amends, the stable popped back up on everyone's racing radars around the end of March and had horses running again as soon as the first week of April. Since then they've acquired a whole new string of racers, some with familiar faces, some new ones, but it doesn't seem to have changed much of Grayson Meadows' ways. They've remained about as competative as they always have thanks to the generous sales of nice horses from stables such as Valkyrie Stud, Stride of Perfection Stables, KC Racing, Firestone Racing Stables and Battle Brook Stables. When we asked Hadley about her plans in the upcoming months she spoke mostly of two maidens that GM acquired a few weeks ago, Tread Carefully and Primrose. Primrose is the daughter of Devils Blessing and White Rose, a mare at one time GM campaigned for about a season. Hadley spoke fondly of the filly saying she reminded her a lot of her dam. She said you would never know the filly was a maiden because she handled everything on the track with a maturity of a four year old. "I've never been more excited to see a filly run in my entire life, I wish we could have run her earlier in the season but I think taking our time with her will work to our advantage." Next is Tread Carefully, a regally bred colt that somehow managed to slip through the cracks. Tread Carefully is the son of Hall Of Famer and rival to Mastermind Forbidden To Fly and out of half sister to the famed Passion Heart, Rules Of Passion. "We're so incredibly excited to have him here, team Passion Heart was one of my favorites, to have not only Passion Hearts daughter among my ranks but her sisters son is something that I'm so excited about." Hadley spoke of how well the colt had been doing in his workouts, he's getting a late start on the season but that doesn't mean he's one that should just be written off. Dry Your Tears never ran her two year old season and she turned into a monster as she matured, GM seems to have a knack for getting older horses rolling. "If he's anything like his sire in his later years, and matures like Rules Of Passion did, this will be one that everyone will be talking about in a few years from now."
