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
Personality:Read in third person in the perspective of the trainer, Grant Moore.
Zorro, is something. He certainly lives up to name! Standing near seventeen hands, she's a specimen colt. We imported him from England where he was purchased by ourselves in a yearling sale in an absolutely terrible state. Compared to the rising stallion now, you wouldn't recognise him. Out on the track, he runs incredibly on both surfaces and I decided to keep him and improving every week. It was much better of us to wait until he developed and grew into himself. Zorro is hot headed and on his toes. He's excitable but not to the point of being naughty. He carries tremendous strength within his shoulders and hind quarters. I'm hoping that because we haven't raced yet, it doesn't get penalised against us. Missy has a technique with our big lad, he likes to run ahead and get Zorro into a nice leading pace, or alongside another front runner. If no other horses challenge, he settles into a rhythmic pace. Missy keeps him steady and he doesn't attempt to snatch the reins and run away from the field. He likes to lead the pack, maybe 1.5L ahead. Around the 4f mark as the other horses begin to creep up, Zorro knows it's time to steadily increase his pace. He begins to extend his stride, and take off with the lead coming round the home turn. At 200m he let's himself go as Missy shakes the reins and pushes him into his stride. In the stable, he's really laid back, but playful. He loves to play with his treat ball and have fusses with our stable hand Oscar Moore, our son. They have an incredible bond and he is the one who walks round the paddock with him, and talks to him, keeping him focused on the task at hand. Given some chance, he will become a terrific miler.
