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
One ass of a gelding and a show off colt, perfect. Bates had gone off to finish a bit of business, leaving Zak to watch over and run the next two workouts of the day. Alison was having a quick break, and had come to watch the workout, accompanied by George and Eliza.
Intro had changed a bit during the break, calming down slightly yet discovering this new side of his personality. The colt was more persistent these days, on and off the track. Karizma, was a newer addition, and a difficult one at that. He didn't let anyone tell him what to do, and was happiest when harassing a staff member. They were planning to run just under a mile, and they were planning to work hard too. Both of the boys had a lot of built up energy, and had been doing a lot more slower workouts over the months. Finally it was time to see what they had built up to.
Gates burst open, with the black colt taking the lead almost right away. Zak could tell Jett was holding Kaz back slightly, whereas Jack was letting Intro go quite a bit. They were going fast, but they still had a little bit left in them. Kaz' ears were pinned tightly to his skull as he eyed the younger colt. There was no doubt he wanted to go in front, but Jett was surprising taking nice control of the bossy gelding.
As they reached the bend Jett pressed Kaz on, letting him go at the speed he wanted to take Intro over. The black colt wasn't going to let his position go quite that easily. He was stubborn, matching Kaz' speed, and managing to stay ahead just slightly thanks to his stride. The pair were neck and neck as they reached the end.
Kaz still had a grumpy look on his face and Jack couldn't help but look a bit smug about keeping his position. As Jack bent down slightly to pat the colt on the shoulder, a noise sent the horse's head straight up, whacking the man in the nose. Jett was trying his hardest not to laugh as he trotted Kaz around in a large circle. Jack gripped his now bleeding nose and dismounted as Eliza and George ran over to grab the colt. Eliza led the jockey to the office as George raised an eyebrow to the other, who failed to contain a soft chuckle.
