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
Theia is a lovely chestnut filly who seems to follow in the hoof-prints of both sire Sun King and dam Reflected in Water. Theia will be running on the dirt surface with furlongs ranging from 6-10. She will be jockeyed by Sable Evans a jockey who knows what he is doing when it comes to horses like this. Theia throws a bit of a diva attitude in the mix and her strides on the track are beautiful. As a filly with an alpha complex, she always has to be the one to take charge. Mason Connelly had to help Sable get the saddle on this pesky little filly as she can be a bit of a wild one. The filly pushed fast onto the track with a lot of energy to maintain, she would be a freshman to the track but one would call her running technique like her dear mothers. There was room for improvement and while she ready for her debut one could say different about her track partner Mischief Manor.
Mischief Manor was an honorary colt stubborn as a mule as one would say, sired by Speed Rush he would also be the last foal of Cry Out Chaos. He would also take on the sprinting field of 6-9 furlongs but would be jockeyed by Lawrence Kaine. Manny as the staff like to call him likes to hold back his dear energy until the last of the race. While he would be stubborn and a bit of a nut he would run his race with precision and fierce effort to win the race. He was paired with Theia because well the two had a grit to them that made them both fight for the win. Manny was a horse that enjoyed getting dirty so he started out in the back of the pack where mud would fly at him before he strived to take the lead.
Theia was a horse to match the pace of her opponent gaining her confidence through the other horse before she had enough and took the lead like it her given right. She fought for her stance and training her had been the most difficult but with much persuasion the filly seemed to allow them to gain access to ride her. Theia and Manny would strive for greatness but Theia would be their prized filly like her mother, Mischief Manor would start his training for the Sprint Crown once it was time but for now juvenile races would be a challenge for them both.
