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
I’m so happy to see GHF is still going strong even though the original GHF board is no longer in use
I would love to have an update on where all my horses are at nowadays. And their offspring of course!!
Hope life is treating everyone well I left GHF about 3 years ago, almost to the day. I’m 27 now, still have my same two horses, and now have my own home here in South East Queensland. Amazing that GHF was started about 1/2 my life ago.
So yeah, give me an update on you, your horses and my old horses!
It's Alexia ^^ I am now 29, with 2 children (Lillith, 5, and Jace who turns 4 this month - where did that time go ) still here in the UK with 3 cats and 2 royal pythons. I rejoined the site just under a year ago and the community is stronger than ever. My horses are starting to run nicely, and I'm quietly optimistic for this season. As for your own horses, I am not entirely sure about many of them but Gorgeous George was nominated and, I believe, inducted into the Breeding Hall Of Fame as his babies did really well.
I've had a lot of success with the horses I managed to nab from you when you were here, both racing them and now in breeding them.
Optical Illusion was stunning throughout his career, and took two TTSC legs at 3, a BC race at 4, and Sprinter of the Year at 4. He's got his first foal on the ground this year.
Royal Assassin has been a wonderful sire already, and his foals seem to pick up speed as they go.
Flawless Majesty is the only currently standing son of Gorgeous George (of which I'm very proud, which is why I put Gorgeous George up for BHOF, which he did get inducted into!), and he's expecting his first foals next year.
I also have Beautiful Liar, who finally settled with me after bouncing around 7,000 different barns lol, and managed to have a fairly strong HOTY campaign at the end of her career.
Sugar Rush similarly finished out her career strongly in HOTY competition and had her first foal born this year, Sweet Tooth.
I'm sure I have plenty of others more distantly related to your horses, but either way some of your lines are still around and thriving!
I don't know if you remember me, I think I came around just when you left. Hope you are doing well!!
I only have Hot Looks, who is G1 now and set to retire in a few weeks! She's had a bit of a struggle hopping from home to home but she'll be the perfect addition to my breeding roster.
SNOWY!! COME BACK AND PLAY AGAIN!! I think a great majority of your ponies are still sitting at Star Thoroughbreds. *sad face* They need treats. And new babies. And snuggles. And more fuzzies cuz fuzzies are AWESOME.
I'm still moving along in therapy, no friends offline yet but there aren't great places to really meet people where I am. I can do more around town now though, working on a book I hope to publish later this year. My baby bunny Dutchess turned 9 in February! I still relentless stalk Frosty's stable, but I've been branching out to other stables recently XD I am still occasionally a spaz out, but socially I've improved, and I am the resident pony hoarder of the game at the moment.
Gallant Knight got nicely to grade one, but he's making a major smash a new stud, he was Y18's Sire of the Year! His first crop are winning HOTY like nuts.
Italian Beauty had a few struggles with me but she's shaped up really nice for this season I am running her half brother Frosted Sunrise, and she's set to have her first foal by French Quarter next year for a new member you don't know.
I just used that Furious Passion reserve you gave me for this colt Twilight's Ecstasy, whom I have far too high hopes of I'm sure
I'm not sure if I got Akumabuelle and/or Loud And Clear from you, but if I did, they're both doing well as mama's, Loud And Clear in particular (her first kiddo Windfallen was a G3 juvenile last season, heading for a sprinter crown/tiara this season).

Hey Sarah!! It may or may not surprise you to know that I'm still here LOL. I'm currently studying for my masters degree in Paris, France and happily graduated from my bachelors program last May. Slowly becoming an adult! XD
Let's see, for pony updates there's probably a lot that I'll forget about....I retired all my original stallions and mares from the breeding barn so now they're happily pensioned!
In terms of how well they've been producing, well, Bank On Greatness has been really good as well - we were totally right in doing Merry Bay King x Bank On Silver XD His oldest foals all reached grade one and as Isa mentioned, her two [Italian Beauty and Frosted Sunrise] are currently out slaying. Let's see, Flashy Wings [by News Flash, one of your originals!] ended up winning the BC Classic twice and has been also producing well - most notably, his son Flashbang did take the BC Classic last year [like father, like son]. Hmm. I ended up reclaiming Radiant Silver, racing him for a while, and now he's a new stud at a lovely new home. Born To Impress's first foal Ashkenaz is debuting this year and looks really nice so far. Silent Fury's first two just started this year as well. Great Revenge has a planned foal from me in Y20 but otherwise nothing else quite yet - ran out of mares and space XD In The Spotlight [by your Gorgeous George] has been producing well too - her oldest is 3 and looks like he's on the brink of a good year, go meet him. Born To Fly has a three year old and a juvenile running at the moment - Cathmora is the juvenile XD
Born To Soar is home with me as well - she has a yearling, Devil's Ascent.
Let's see, I think that's everything for a pony update - love how much longer it is than the RL update lol. But your lines are definitely still around and kicking
Are you coming back Snowflake? That'd be super awesome!
I was around when you were, but my stable was super small then (it still kinda is but, beyond the point)
LIKE A LIONESS just retired Dec 2018 as a G1. She has about $900,000 in earnings! She was bred to Isabelle's Beyond His Candy for a super stellar 2019 foal. So! Meet Like A Lioness' first foal Smitten Kitten!
SILVERIANNA finally got her chance to shine in the broodmare barn after sitting for a while. She had her first foal two years ago, a filly named Silver Seraph by Sunfrost's stallion Flashy Wings. She recently broke her maiden in a spectacular HOTY finish. Silverianna also had a foal in Y18, a flashy colt named Mauricio that's by Kenren's Baciami and more recently, a Y19 colt by Instant Success named Affluence. She'll be on a break next year but she loves to throw some pretty boys! Hoping for a filly from her in Y21 or Y22 <3
) still here in the UK with 3 cats and 2 royal pythons.
