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
The first half of the year is well underway and we stopped by at Ar Y Ffin Stables to see if we couldn’t get a progress report on the stable’s horses. We stopped with George, head trainer at Ar Y Ffin Stables.
War of Redemption: “Remi has done wonderfully this year, breaking his maiden in a packed HOTY race. He recently placed third in the Magic Millions Colts Dirt. He’ll take a two week break before coming back to run in the Horsehoe Futurity. Tenatively, if he continues doing as well as he’s been, we’re considering aiming him towards the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.”
Winter’s End: “It took her a while to break her maiden, but she finally did it. She made her first foray into the HOTY races, and placed second. We're very proud of that and are aiming to run her next in Week 4. No plans set in stone yet for the end of the year."
Fabled Finale: "No plans really set for her yet, just seeing how she does. She had her first taste of the HOTY races, and while she didn't place in the top three, we feel it was a good start. Every bit of experience helps."
Whispering Soldier: "He's probably our best second best 2 year-old, although it's pretty close between all of them. He won a HOTY race last week and we're thinking about aiming him towards the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Dirt Sprint. Depending on how the year goes, obviously."
Sound of Silence: "We're aiming for him to break his maiden and then we'll go from there."
Metropolitan: We recently took Met back and are letting him get settled in before running him. We’re looking for him to make his return to the track April Week 2 at the earliest.
Honored Image: "I've got a lot of things to say about the colt, but they're not all positive. He's very... unique. As our other new addition to the barn, we're letting him get settled in before racing him. Not sure when he'll make his debut, but it'll be this month definitely."
Flashbang: “While only having race three times this year, it’s been a pretty light season so far for him. But it doesn’t seemed to have bothered him, winning two races and coming in second another time. Coming off a month-long break, he’ll race in the Dynaire Derby and the Florida Derby before running in the Triple Crown. We’ve got high hopes for him as he’s this year’s only Crown or Tiara contender. As for where he’s going after the Triple Crown, we’ll decide after the Belmont Stakes.”
Finding North, Tempest Rising, After All, Bizarre Redemption: “Nothing set in stone so far, just getting their confidence up and back into racing shape after a light 2 year-old season. We'll probably try entering small HOTY races in June depending on the horse. They're all doing pretty well so far this year."
Seattle Lightning: “Seattle’s on the top of his game this year. He managed to hit Grade 1 his first run out and he’s right on track for another try at the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. We’ve also got high hopes for him, and so far, he’s proven us right.”
Fabled Dreams: “We’re still focused on aiming her to the Breeders’ Cup Distaff, but whether she’s going this year, or if we’ll wait until next year depends on how she does. She’s won two HOTY races so far this year, so we're pretty optimistic about her chances. She’ll come back May Week 2, probably an undercard race to get her back into racing, and then we’ll decide from there.”
