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
With race day fast approaching, Holly Montgomery has been hard at work with her 3 juveniles. She had a colt and two fillies. She has been quite impressed with how the three of them have been training and she feels they are more than ready to take to the track. She talked about what she thought of each youngster.
Striking Passion (dark bay colt by Streaks Of Passion and out of Strike A Pose): Striker has been on the top of his game. Holly has admitted he is probably the most strong juvenile colt she has ever had in her barn. She claims she would like to put him in a couple undercards and then possibly push him into HOTY ranks. She knows he will prosper quite well with higher calibur horses. The colt is absolutely flawless when it comes to his works. He is a sight to see. He certainly has the solid bloodlines to be a high flying turf horse.
Marvelous (bay filly sired by Buddy Marvel and out of Golden Grove): Marvel is a half sister to G2 stallion Amun Ra, G3 mare Evanescence, and the HOTY winning Mysterious Magic. She has been extremely impressive and loves having workouts with fellow juvenile filly Wildfire. Holly knew the moment this filly was born that she would be something special. She hopes to have her running HOTY real soon. She knows Marvel could handle the stronger competition. She can't wait to see what the striking filly can do.
Wildfire (bay filly from foundation stock): Fire believes she is the boss hoss. She is the queen of the barn. On the track, she is a spitfire. Her small, slim frame is properly proportioned to carry her around the track at great speed. She has matured perfectly, in all aspects. This filly has had some intimidating workouts and just seems to get better each and every time she steps out onto the track. She could do some great things for Windsor Stables. Holly is ready to get her out racing.
These three juveniles are impressive and ready to take to the tracks. They will certainly be some competition to contend with.
