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

Basics
Name: Chalcedon
YOB: Y19
Gender: Colt
Color: Grey
Height: 15.3hh || Will mature to 16.2
Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation
Personality: - Chalcedon was a strange foal and still is a bit strange. When he was a foal he would run and play alone, ignoring the other foals. Now he still doesn't enjoy the company of other horses. He has a very calm, attentive, and curious personality. He has to examine everything and know what everything is for. You'll often see him with strange things in his mouth, trying to figure out what it is. He has a very calm approach to racing and doesn't have the competitive spirit that most others do. He has to go into the gate first since he tends to take his sweet time looking everything over. He breaks fast, usually at the front but quickly lets himself fall back. He likes to stay away from the other horses so he either pulls away to the front, or falls behind the others. He races best when he stays behind, then moves up quickly during the final stretch. He has a quick steady stride that gains ground quickly. He doesn't really care about beating the other horses, but he follows the jockeys commands almost flawlessly.
Personality: - Phila is a feisty filly. She is incredibly smart and troublesome. She isn't violent but she throws tantrums when something upsets her. She acts a lot like a spoiled child. She wants everything, and when she doesn't get what she wants, she gets upset. She tends to pin her ears at everyone but her favorite groom and her dog friend. She has been improving and her fits are not as bad as they were. She loves to be groomed with everything but the stiff brush, she hates it for some reason. She is a little pig and tends to overeat if someone isn't paying attention. It takes her a while to get her head in the game and focus on racing, but once she does, she is determined and stubborn and hates having someone in front of her. She throws and fit during the parade and she throws a fit entering the gate but she calms down quickly once she's in. She breaks fast with surprisingly big leaps. She takes the lead and holds it, pinning her ears at anyone who comes close. She doesn't really conserve any energy, even though her trainers are working on checking her speed.
