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

frozen motion click spitz x hira-kiri
Frozen Motion's career would have read completely different if Akita Rose Stable owner Kirsten Jade had not recommended the dark dappled gray to Ripley Marsh upon her return to racing. He could have faded into oblivion, being only a grade five racehorse at the time. He could have gone on to new owners and achieved mild success. But he didn't. He became a champion horse, the iron horse of Witch Creek Stable. It was fate that Ripley Marsh and Brookson Wells teamed up just in time to create a love triangle with this fierce front-running gray colt. Frozen Motion was hard to handle, speedy to the point of uncontrollable. He ran because he could. He ran because there had been no one to teach him the difference between racing and running off. He'd won his only start prior to coming to Witch Creek, the Unicorn Horn Maiden, on talent alone.
In the first months of racing, the gray horse turned it right around. He won four races at The Wire, stating his preference for the track, in what turned out to be one of the miraculous campaigns of a three year old turf colt. The Kentucky Open was next versus the blood-blooded nearly undefeated Infinite Warcry. The race would not be the first time the horses faced each other. Frozen Motion shocked the racing world with his victory in the Kentucky Derby and many thought perhaps the gray colt had won by fluke. It appeared so when Infinite Warcry came back to notch a victory in the Preakness Champion Stakes. Infinite Warcry did not go to the Belmont Turf Classic and all that was between Frozen Motion and his second leg of the Turf Triple Crown was Akita Rose Stable's Apollo Bear. Frozen Motion won in a beautiful show, firmly placing himself side by side Infinite Warcry in the three year old turf division.
After the Turf Triple Crown, Frozen Motion went on to victories in the Yinz Stakes, the Autumn Cup Grade Three Turf, the Rose Mile Cup and the Deadly Desires Memorial Stakes. He finished out the year with a third place finish in the Breeders' Cup Turf Marathon behind rival Infinite Warcry. At least Infinite Warcry finished behind Firebird, was all jockey Brookson Wells, who had ridden Freeze in every single start in his career at three, four and five, had to say about the race. Frozen Motion was named The Wire's Year Twelve Three Year Old of the Year and The Wire's Year Twelve Turf Male Of The Year.
After working on Frozen Motion's rating capabilities after the Breeders' Cup debacle, the gray horse was started back in a major stakes. At first Frozen Motion did not seem to be the same, finishing second in the Eclipse Stakes and third in the International Stakes. However, once March hit and Frozen Motion started getting the hang of racing again, he was nearly impossible to beat. He won races such as: The Wire Finish Cup Turf Mile, Wivern Cup, Bow Tie Cup (a GHF race), the Malibu Stakes, the Arlington Million Stakes, the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic, Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate, and a dead heat victory with Silent Fury in the Tropical Paradise Invitational.
He went into the Breeders' Cup Turf possibly a step behind Silent Fury and came out proving why he was the iron horse of the turf division. He took the win and put himself firmly in position for a possible end of the year title. A break was not given to Frozen Motion upon conclusion of Year Thirteen. He returned for another race, his last race, in the Dubai World Championship where he faced off with Flashy Wings, a two time Breeders' Cup Classic champion, and, ironically, his three year old rival, Infinite Warcry.
Frozen Motion lost nothing in defeat. He proved himself the ultimate warrior throughout a fantastic career, dancing every major dance possible. He is the true Iron Horse of racing.
