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
WIN Usurper place Bel Fuoco show Frosted Sunrise 4th War of the Worlds
SWEET SUGAR CANE LEGACY STAKES* - G5+ 6F T 2YOS F
WIN Never Surrender place Windfallen show Appalonia
All of these fillies were well balanced coming into this race, it could have easily been anyone's race but Never Surrender broke fast and ran hard in a field of horses who liked to stay behind and make their moves at the last minute.
Pebble Cup - G2+G1 9F T
WIN Bulletproof place Excalibur's Stone show Mr. Wild
4th Aritsaeus 5th Englishman 6th What So Not 7th True Speed - He was not ready for this kind of race, against this kind of competition. Especially since he hasn't started yet as a three-year-old.
What a race. There was a lot of traffic in the middle and Samaritan Hero was able to capitalize on that and ran this one from wire to wire. What So Not was there, but then between Bold Trick, Flashbang and Aristaeus, he got blocked off from being a real threat to Samaritan Hero. Englishman ran an almost perfect trip, but it was the foot traffic with the bunch moving to close in on Samaritan that blocked off his path in the end, forcing him to go wider than intended.
All around, great colt! I'm excited to see who will win the next leg because nothing is guaranteed in this series.
ACORN STAKES** - G5+ 8F D 3YO F TRIPLE TIARA WIN Foxy Passion PLACE Kallisto SHOW Amnesty fourth Authentic Aura
This was such a tough race. And let me be very clear - this isn't a definitive ranking for the rest of the series, at all. 4th place isn't any better than 4th here as far as horse quality, and I think the bottom two will improve and heavily threaten with distance (Authentic Aura in particular, actually). I know this isn't where you would have pegged Authentic Aura, Isabelle, but I swear it's just a product of this particular field on this particular day. This was a mixture of pace, personality, and my gut. Great race all around guys, and have a good rest-of-series!
