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
Hello everybody! It's me, Izzy, with another one of my scatterbrained ideas ^__^ This event/idea/thingy is pretty simple, you put up one (or more) of your ponies for a five month lease, from Nov. week one through March week five of Y20. Then everyone who wants to can specify how many and what type (distance, surface, etc.) of lease they have room for (you do not have to offer (a) lease(s) AND take one or more in, you can do only one or the other if you like). When entries are closed I will randomly draw names to see which leases you get! This is a perfect opportunity for horses of all ages who are clashing, not doing well, or are running stagnant. This event is open for all members, just be sure if you put your name in for wanting one or more leases that you are confident you will be active weekly for the next five months. (At any time of course an owner has the right to take back their horse or a member can return one if something in real life goes wonky, which can happen to anybody.) It's generally been pretty standard that a lease is accompanied with a breeding reserve, so I will assume every horse entered into the lease drawing comes with one reserve for the leaser unless stated otherwise at the time the horse is entered into the drawing. (Also if the lease seems to be working well the the two members decide to, the lease can of course be extended between the two of you.)
Since this lease encompasses the end of the year, I will not include Y20 juveniles. All ages listed below are the ages for Y19, not Y20. So again, these are CURRENT ages. So if you enter a juvenile, it will turn three with it's new owner. For simplicity sake, I have divided the sections up as squarely as possible, if your horse runs say 7-12 dual, add it into the pot where it currently runs it's best, for easier placement.
I cannot guarantee all horses put up for the lease draw will find a lease home, but they might! ^_^ Remember, you will NOT be picking your leases, they will be randomly drawn, so you'll get who you get! I will hold the drawing a little after the closing of Oct. week four so you'll have almost a week to put up any pages of leasers you've taken in.
