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
With Ar Y Ffin Stables having the most Breeders’ Cup entries since we first opened our doors in Y16, we are pleased to announce our Y18 Breeders’ Cup Contenders:
BC Classic Our stand out 3 year-old Flashbang is a probable entry in this year’s Classic. Having reached Grade 1, he’s won 6 HOTY races so far this year, 2 of them against older horses, and having placed 2nd in the El Sol De Mar Stakes to Incognito. So we’re feeling pretty optimistic about his chances. Regardless of how he does, it’s planned for him to come back next year for another chance at the race.
BC Turf Our longshot for the race is Knight’s Ransom. A recent Grade 1 winner, we feel like the race will be good experience for when whether he does well or not. Originally we weren’t going to aim him for the race, but we thought “Why not? What’s the worst that could happen?” Regardless of the race’s outcome, he’ll come back next year for another try. In the meantime he’ll be entered in some HOTY races to get him more experience.
BC Distaff As her final race before she heads to retirement, Fabled Dreams will be in the Distaff. It’s been a long road for the 4 year-old filly, but this year is her best year yet. Winner of 5 HOTY races this year, we feel she has a good chance in the race, having raced almost exclusively against the other mares and fillies. She’s currently on break and scheduled to come back either the first week of November or December in time for one more prep race before the Distaff.
BC Turf Sprint Seattle Lightning is having his best year yet. He returns again to the race this year for another chance at winning, having placed 3rd in last year’s edition. With 5 HOTY wins to his name this year, he’s had a very consistent year, only placing 3 times out of the money. This will be his last race before he retires, after taking on the Senior Turf Sprinter Series.
BC Juvenile With a trio of strong 2 year-olds, we’re excited about this year’s Breeders’ Cup. Headed to the Juvenile is War of Redemption. Winner of 5 HOTY races this year, and on the verge of G3, we have high hopes for the colt. While he hasn’t won at 9 furlongs yet, we’re hoping he can make up for it with his record. He’s been pretty consistent this year, taking on the best of the other horses and only placing out of the money 3 times.
BC Juvenile Dirt Sprint Heavenly Whisper’s first foal, Whispering Soldier, has defied all expectations. While having been on break for a month, he makes his return in the first race of the The Youth Sprint Series. While he’s been somewhat lightly raced, we have high hopes for him. He’s won 4 HOTY races so far this year, having competed exclusively in the HOTY races since March Week 5. So we are hopeful that his experience will help him in the race.
BC Juvenile Fillies And we saved the best of our 2 year-olds for last with Fabled Finale headed for the Juvenile Fillies. As a full sister to Distaff contender, Fabled Dreams, we may have set our expectations high. A G3 winner, she’s won 2 HOTY races and have placed in 4 others. She’s only been out of the money once this year, having an incredibly consistent season. She may be light on HOTY experience compared to the other fillies, but we think she’ll do just fine in the race.
