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
Most of the staff hanging around to watch the workouts had hidden behind something, and would probably have donned crash helmets and body padding if any had been within reach. Frankenstein was coming out. Over eighteen hands, he scared most of the staff shitless, hardly any would work with him. Evander was totally keyed on to his mount, trotting heavily from the stabling area towards the track. The other racers were already prepped, cantering loosely for their warm up as they waited for the last of the trio to arrive.
Scripture was ready. Chloe was ready. The pair were solid in mind and spirit, and ready for the world of racing to be opened up. Tasia was long legged and bred from Isabelle’s favored SOPS stock. She was moving well, warm and primed for a good hard gallop. She had a potential long range for her abilities furlong wise, only time would tell how fully capable she’d become at them. Tasia was a favored possible for the Triple Tiara, but that was a year and a half away, and if Isabelle had learned anything, it was never peg any horse for anything. Let them develop how they will and build on their abilities.
David was approaching the work with a serious mentality, the same way that the gray colt under him was. Shadow On The Moon was business, not pleasure, and clearly showing everything he was learning in his training. On task and listening, he executed everything David cued him for quickly and efficiently. His pink nose was gathering some fans, but any fawning attention was lost on the colt. He was trotting well after a working canter to limber up, not giving Scripture any mind nearby.
The grounds workers helped Tasia and Shadow get into the first two chutes. Monster gaped his mouth and half reared, giving Evander a challenge. They were pegging the fifth chute for him, giving the calm Thoroughbreds some space from the loony black. A handler dared get close enough to snap on a lead and pull at the same time another brave soul shoved at Monster’s hip, and with Evander distracting the stallion they managed to get the creature in. On release, Frankenstein hurled himself free, throwing out huge strides to get the lead and the rail. Tasia and Shadow broke well, and didn’t give much chase to Monster. Shadow happily took up two lengths behind Tasia, who engaged herself well to remain a big behind the leading black. Isabelle and the staff watch avidly, knowing the end of this ten furlong workout would be the most heated they’d seen of the day.
