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

Horse Credit: Covfefe
Basics Name: Nozoupforyou YOB: Y17 Gender: Colt Color: Bay Height:15.1 hands Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation
Personality: - Zoup is as quirky as he is fast. He's calm and collected in a stall and is more than happy to have kids crawling all over him. He loves grabbing passerby's by the collar or hem of their shirt and pulling them in for a hug while he's in his stall. His personal favorite though is getting butt scratches and he'll let you know when he wants them. He'll back right up to you, something that would scare most people but those who know Zoup know his obsession with butt scratches. You cannot walk around this horse with any sort of food in your hand or you will not have it in a few short seconds. Zoup is a food thief and will eat anything put in front of him, most notably soup which is what earned him his namesake because Steve is a Seinfeld nerd. Zoup is always the first whinny you hear as you walk down the barn isle and if you're a minute late for feeding he'll start whaling at the top of his lungs with his donkey-like voice. He's a very in your pocket kind of horse and is easily a staff favorite as a result. Zoup was slower to develop than most of the horses on the farm so he was brought a long a lot slower. However, Hadley is confident that this horse is one that will be worth the wait.
Zoup is built like a freight train, he's got muscles in his eyebrows and sports an almost quarter-horse like stature. He's smaller than most thoroughbreds however he's got a huge stride. He loves going for jogs and stretching his legs out, if there's one thing this horse loves more than his butt scratches it's taking off at full speed and racing around other horses. He's super competitive and is a very dominant type out in the pasture. Knowing his normal temperament you wouldn't think this horse had a nasty bone in his body but when it's race time he's absolutely ruthless and is known for nipping other horses during workouts.
Racing Statistics
Running Style:Front-runner Zoup breaks like a bat out of hell. This colt just runs and runs until he can't anymore. He loves the game and the thrill of competition and can speed duel with the best of them while still having something left in his tank. Zoup is absolutely brilliant and watching him run is like poetry in motion. He terrifies his connections with how quickly he rattles off fractions in races but he can carry his speed over five to seven furlongs without breaking too much of a sweat. Distance: 5-7 furlongs (self-imposed distance restriction)
Surface: Turf Great, Dirt Bad
