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
Basics Name: Coffinshaker YOB: Y18 Gender: Colt Color: Chestnut Height: 16.2hh Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation
Personality: - He's a flashy one, huh? Hopefully he's as fast as he is good looking but thus far his looks seem to convey a sense of fire as well as class. He's a quiet, stoic animal, standing at the ready when stalled or out in pasture, he's full of grit and guts once he's set loose on the turf, though, then he shows his true colors, putting away his exercise partners in the stretch with ease. He pulls hard to get to the lead and demands it, craves it and as a longer distance horse with the discipline to hold himself back when asked, he's a good front runner and pace setter so long as he isn't challenged. That's when any semblance of obedience goes out the window and he'll pull his rider's arms from the sockets before he'll calmly rate. Hopefully he has the stamina to outlast the closers but he's got a big, beautiful, fluid stride that eats up the ground and saves his energy. Typical tack includes; a hood with French cup blinkers, D-ring double broken snaffle and figure eight nose band.
Basics Name: Lady Sundown YOB: Y18 Gender: Filly Color: Bay Height: 16hh Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation
Personality: - Always moving, it seems, throwing her head, rolling her eyes and crow hopping. She isn't spooky, just energized and ready to get going, she was bred to run and wants to exhibit her fine breeding quite badly, often bolting even while under restraint. Luckily she has responded well to training and has come to learn that it's not about the speed, but the stamina and she has learned to stay off the pace and wait patiently to show her turn of foot. She is most comfortable a little further back in the field with one or two other horses, if too far in front she loses focus, too far back and she loses hope and won't respond when asked to accelerate. It's a fine balance like a hair on a knife's edge and winning races will be just as much work for her, as it is for her jockey. We hope this persnickety filly will find her stride and her niche once she's race ready. Tack: standard bridle and eggbutt snaffle and shadow roll.
