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
Hip 018 - Super Cat ch. c. by Super Sparky, out of Tricky Cat
While he's been refreshing since March, this next hip has some prime potential and showed it earlier this year. Lightly raced but very consistent, this four-year-old has his best years still ahead of him. He has wins in two Cup races, as well as wins over both surfaces. He is half to such horses as G1 Superb Curiosity, HOTY-winning three-year-old Turbocharged, and maiden-winning juvenile Superbad. Through his dam he is half to Remson Stakes* and Unicorn Horn Juvenile Turf Sprint* winner Speedy Tomcat. He's got great, proven new lines and a record that will surely catapult him along.
Hip 023 - Wannabe Royal dk b/br. c. by Wannabe Hero, out of Royal Invitation
If you want a hard-knocking, workhorse type, this next hip may be for you. While Wannabe Royal has not broken his maiden, he is very well positions with four places and two thirds to have a breakout win at any time. We've seen horses like this go on to incredible careers so many times that we definitely shouldn't count him out here. While Wannabe Royal's sire Wannabe Hero only reached G2, it wasn't before he won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint* among other HOTY races. He has also proven himself as a sire, making this colt half to Daisy Stakes* and Butter Cup Sprint* (two legs of the Turf Triple Sprinter Tiara) winner Game Over, Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint* winner Blue Heroine, HOTY-winning colt Chocolatier, consistent-this-year runner Waldemar, and juvenile HOTY winner Time Out of Mind. What am I saying? This is a very prolific and strong sire that's produced this colt. The dam makes the line rare, as she has not produced any other foals and is unlikely to produce any in the future. This is a prime breeding prospect regardless of whether he makes it as a racehorse, though we fully expect he'll mature very well into his pedigree.
This is an exciting pinhook by Valkyrie Stud, having been bought in this year's New Year sale. Bazinga has more than proven himself, reaching G3 status in short order. He is a great prospect for any farm!
Hip 032 - Beyond Contellation gr. f. by Beyond His Candy, out of Testimonial Circumstances
Next into the ring we have the pretty steel grey filly Beyond Constellation. This recently turned Grade 4 filly is being consigned by Battle Brook Stables. She had a slower start in her two year old season but shows big promise coming into her classic season. Already a winner of 3 races, she seems to be on an upward grind and is ready to excel with an owner who can put her into the right program. Sired by Beyond His Candy, this filly is related to horses like Beyond The Stars and Ghostly Girl. On the dam side, she is out of G2 Testimonial Circumstances, who has produced Barely Legal and Tainted Love.
Hip 032 - Desert Sun dk b. c. by Spartan Heat, out of Blue Sunshine
Next into the ring is a freshly lined G4 colt who just started his career this season. Unraced as a 2 and 3yo, Desert Sun has shown nothing but promise since debuting for his consignor. Desert Sun prefers the turf surface and loves the sprints and will make a great foundation stud for any barn. Already a 4yo, he can race well into his 6yo season if you choose so.
