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!

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.

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 😄

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

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

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!

Hey guys! Seeing as you are all in favor of bringing back The Gallop, here is my proposal for how to handle this without it being overwhelming for anybody involved.

What is The Gallop?
The Gallop used to be a monthly racing news magazine released via PM on the old GHF site. These days, it's the name of the general news board here on FF. My plan is to bring back consistent writing under the heading of "The Gallop", but what form that writing takes is completely up to you.

How will this work?
Somebody will be in charge of writing for The Gallop for a three-month rotation before it passes on to a new person (see below for the exact rotations). I will solicit sign-ups for each period right now, but of course this can change if somebody decides they no longer want to do it. When it's your rotation as the writer for the Gallop, you will need to write at least three articles. This should be about one per game month, but you're also free to write all three at the end, two at the beginning and one at the end - whatever you would like to do. These articles would (naturally) be posted in The Gallop board.

What can the articles be on?
Literally anything you want - a highlight of racing from the current game month, predictions for future races, interesting horses in the current sales, breeding news, interviews with members, whatever! We just want fun content to read ^__^

What's in it for me?
Once you've completed your current rotation on The Gallop, you will be able to claim ANY three items that you'd like OR you can claim a custom foal from me XD

Rotation Periods:
January, February, March: will not do
April, May, June: Lex
July, August, September: Cruisey
October, November, December: KingHarry

Reply below to let me know which periods you'd be interested in. The Gallop period will start from April Week One. Hope you guys are excited! Let me know if you have any questions.
