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
A half-sister to the champion turf mare, Scintilla, Foolish Lass will remind you that she's more fast than foolish. She's one of the smarter horses of our Y16 crop, but the beautiful bay tends to be a bit biased against fellow fillies. It's become second-nature for her to actively compete with other fillies - and occasionally any and all female staff at KC Racing. It didn't take much for her to become overly attached to her chosen jockey, Andy Hobbs. John Murchison, head trainer, would often joke that the filly had a crush on the young jockey.
Andy had made it something of a routine to take the filly out to the turf training track and get a good jog out of her which the bay always enjoyed it. It didn't take much to get her riled up on the field and raring to go especially when the ill-tempered The Huntress was brought out for a short workout. Lass' ears flattened into her mane and she bared her teeth to which Huntress replied with the same attitude. "Completely different from the boys this year aren't they?" Came Samson's reply as he pulled on his mount's reins in order to keep her from taking a chunk out of her stablemate. "There's never anything wrong with a little friendly competition." Andy commented as he patted Lass' shoulder causing her to snort in protest.
The Huntress continued to eye Lass before losing interest - or thinking that she had won some kind of mental competition. "Easy for you to say." Samson said as he asked for his mount to increase in speed to which Huntress obliged and leaped into a speedy gallop. Foolish Lass threw up her head, eager to get going and eventually Andy allowed her to do so. It didn't take much for her to catch up to the Augusta granddaughter thanks to her affinity for the turf over the former's affinity for dirt.
The flashy bay breathed deep with each stride, settling for just a moment to run alongside her stablemate, testing her before dashing forward, kicking up turf as she went.
