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
Final workout for the day and the sun was just beginning to set. The sunset was a stunning backdrop for the three horses as they warmed up. Disclosure was a newbie, and a nice one as well. He was a distance runner, unbothered by what he was running on. He was working well with Alison, who had been extremely keen to work with the boy as soon as he arrived at the stables. Intermission was working nicely, listening well to Alex as they kept doing small transitions between different paces. Sam was as grumpy as ever, and was not having a good day. AJ was fighting with him a little that evening, but the stallion soon seemed to realise there was no point in wasting energy.
The three loaded nicely into the gates as they prepared for the slower workout. As the gates opened all three seemed to comply with the workout plan, not rushing out as they settled into places. Mission was forced to sit in front and Sam and Disclosure hung at the back. They were working at a nice steady pace, working more on stamina than anything else.
Mission was a little uncomfortable leading the group, but the other two weren't challenging him any time soon. Sam was fighting with AJ a little, speeding up then slowing down and repeating it as AJ tried to get him to calm down and just maintain a single speed. Alison was doing rather well with Disclosure, he seemed to be quite happy at a slower pace, and wasn't too bothered by Sam acting up on his left.
As they turned the final corner Sam and Disclosure seemed to suddenly fight to go forwards. AJ and Alison let the two go slightly, nearing Mission as they neared the end. Mission was started to get a little pressured, speeding up a bit in an effort to maintain the lead. Sam surged forwards a bit, trying to take the lead, but Mission was not too eager to let that happen. As they reached the end, the three year old managed to just keep his lead.
The group had a brisk cool down as they suddenly realised the work they had done today. Everyone had ridden two workouts, on top of doing other work around the place. It was a full-on day, and it made everyone realise that things were getting serious once again. There was no stopping this time, they were here to stay.
