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
The frosty morning had the large chestnut colt on edge. His usually playful demeanor replaced with something else. Focus. He waited for the rising sun to hit the same pot it did every day before his rider, Josh, would let his feet hit the track's soft dirt. He pranced a bit as a few people gathered at the rail. "Load him up, then start him off slow for three and a quarter, then finish it off with a 4 furlong breeze." The one holding a stopwatch said, as Josh nodded. The colt loaded unusally quiet today, standing stock still as he waited. Hearing the loud claning bell, he burst forward, his powerful legs propelling his forward. After he got up to speed, his jockey checked him. As the colt fell into a rhythm, he slowly edged up his speed. As the hit the three quarters mark between three and four, his jockey loosened the reins. Grabbing the bit with renewed vigor, the colt shot forward with even more speed. He pounded along, his large strides covering ground effectively. One furlong down. Josh urged him on, leaning just a bit more into the colt's neck. As he continued to go along, the people at the rail were already starting to compare times. But the one in the center of the group remained still, watching the handsome colt before him. Three furlongs down, one to go. The colt seemed to know this, and hit another gear. Gaining a bit more speed he took that last furlong with style and class. Just as he thundered past the last pole, Josh started to pull him up, and let him do a slow jog around the track. His breathing returned to near normal, the pair headed for the spectators at the rail. "That was his best run yet, a 2:00.07. If he continues to run at this rate, he'll be running with the big boys in no time," the center spectator said to Josh. "He was feeling real limber this morning, and he was ready to run. He's finally gettin' focus, James." Josh said as he slid off the big colt and grabbed his reins. "Who's next?"
