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
Bidding closed. KingHarry's bid of $100,000 was the last accepted bid at 8:59:50, as the next bid placed was 9:00:02, which is technically after 9PM! Hold for next hip.
Hip 025 - Apollo's Storm dk b. f. by Apollo Bear, out of Tazmania Storm
Sorry for the delay folks, we'll introduce this little girl quickly. This lovely filly is sired by G1 Apollo Bear, no stranger to the track as he raced strong until his 6yo season. He finished second in the Belmont Turf Classic*, a leg of Turf Triple Crown. Foals include Arrows Away (G4) and juvenile The Huntress (G5). She is out of Tazmania Storm, an untried mare at Windsor Stud. She has one other foal, a colt named Storm Dancer. She could be a fun project for someone!

Next up we have Born Free. This is a Y18 born bay colt by Call Of The Wild and out of Fleet Majesty. Both of his parents were G1 runners in their day. Call Of The Wild won a host of HoTY races in his career, including the AJC Sires Produce Stakes, Royal Heroine Green Mile, Cox Plate, Melbourne Cup, World Colt Cup, and the Dubai World Marathon. That's some versatility folks - those are wins across his full range of eight to twelve furlongs! He himself hails from an absolutely proven pedigree, with sire Foolish Lad [himself by Karls Nickel and out of Breeding Hall of Fame inductee Foolish Entity] dam Hall of Famer and Breeding Hall of Famer Wild Flower. Those are SOPS cornerstone turf lines folks. Call is the sire of one other weanling right now out of Innocent Passion to be raced by SOPS. Fleet Majesty is a grade one mare herself who won such races as the Duchess Stakes, Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (twice!), and the Beverly D. Handicap. Fleet Majesty is the dam of grade four up-and-coming three year old Belladonna and grade five juvenile Majestic Cry. Rumor has it this may be her only foal sold to the public.
Bidding starts at $200,000! Who wants a blue-blooded prospect that SOPS will surely regret selling?
This hip opened late and was technically supposed to close at 9am; to be fair, the closing time will tentatively be bumped to 9am EST on 9/7. This is subject to modification (but seems like a good fix for now XD).
