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
Cheetah Stakes - G2 9F T FIRST Superb Curiosity SECOND Incineration THIRD Apache Sunrise FOURTH Moonstorm FIFTH Excalibur's Stone SIXTH Celestia
This is quite a field! I'll give some individual comments on this one -
Superb Curiosity-She's been paying her dues this season against the heavy hitters. Although I feel she seems to be strongest at sprinting, her hard fights this season I feel sharpened up her muscles to get through the burn for this 9F heavy front running field. Whether you choose to retire or keep her trying to break in against the hot shots I'll be anxious to see
Incineration-Pulled in all of her back class for this position today. Since she's been hanging in undercards to build up I felt she wasn't quite as spot on as Superb for the win in this one, but she does feel to favor this general distance.
Apache Sunrise-Consistent this season, working up that ladder. I had to nit pick this crowd and I see she has more success at the fuller router distance, at least enough in my mind that Incineration would keep a neck in front of her at the end.
Moonstorm-You're trying so hard to get her going this year Cru! I really didn't like giving her another out of money placement, but given the top three I just couldn't see her getting in there. I think if you focus on keeping her fields with no more than three she'll start perking up for you (or her new owner).
Excalibur's Stone-She has a decent record, it's a shame she's gone on for over a year without a win! Sammy, I really encourage you to go over her profile and shape it up. The comments are still those for a pretty wild, unconditioned juvenile, and she's a five year old now. Give her some discipline and maturity, she deserves it. Keep her racing frequently in small fields and she'll get that upcoming win soon.
Celestia-Odds are you didn't expect this. She's been running well, and she's a talented lady. This was a tough undercard. Like Sammy, I'd really like to see you go back over her profile. It says she's a versatile style, yet in her racing description you talk about her being held back and not showing early speed - these are mid-pack/closer type tendencies. Excalibur has a touch more class than she does. I think she'd benefit a lot from a few grade specific HOTY placements, it would boost her undercard performance.
GIRL'S FESTIVAL* - G5+ 6F T 3yo F FIRST Wayward Lass SECOND Phaedra THIRD Lasheeva FOURTH Final Velocity
Final Velocity's spooky nature caught up with her today - her flip out gave Lasheeva a split second chance to nab her at the wire.
Side note: Holly this another horse whose racing style is written differently than is described in her stats. I went with what's written as I foresaw the race playing out, please double check your horses for these inconsistencies.
