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
Flyer was born five years ago at Come Again Farm, where she lived happily with her dam Flying Loose until she was weaned, at which time the farm came to financial difficulties and she had to be sold on. When we heard the young daughter of Merry Bay King was for sale, we just had to have her. The moment we laid eyes on her, it was a done deal. Flyer was ours. We brought her back to GHS, where she frolicked in the pastures with nine other weanlings including, for just a few weeks, her half brother Impressario.
While Flyers two year old season was impressive, she was unfortunately outshone by Gorgeous George and Striking Motion. It wasn't until her three year old season that the filly stood out. she began with a few second places, then won the Spring Cup G5 Turf*. It was then we took a true interest in the filly, and she started a new training schedule that quickly had her winning like crazy. By the end of her three year old season, she had won her way all the way to up grade one, with a total of 11 wins, 7 of them being *HOTY selection races, including the Melbourne Cup*. Considering her massive amount of effort, and considering she had come all the way from grade five to grade one in a single season, Flyer was named Y7 Filly of The Year.
Her four year old season however was the year Flyer dominated the turf. She began the year with a win in the Spring Cup G1 Turf*, and finished with the Breeder's Cup Turf*, coming home with 11 wins once more, 9 of them *HOTY Selection races, including a second consecutive win in the Melbourne Cup*, a win in the huge Universal Cup*, Dream Cup* Pegasus Stakes* and Full Moon Derby*. She finished the year with multiple HOTY awards, and was crowned Y8 Racehorse Of The Year, Y8 Filly Of The Year, Y8 Best Older Mare and Y8 Best Grade One. The only award missing was Best Turf Horse! We decided to run Flyer one last time for a win in the Unicorn Horn Classic in Y9, but unfortunately the mare didn't win, coming in a close third place.
Throughout her career, Flyer placed just five times out of the top three. Four of these were fourth places, and the fifth was a fifth place in her two year old season! She retired with a record of 59-25-16-13, which has a win/place/show percentage of 91.5%. Very impressive. As a Horse of The Year award winner, and with a record like hers, Flyer deserves to be inducted into the Hall Of Fame in recognition of her amazing efforts and heart throughout her racing career.
