That is a fact. Rocky (Finally's full brother) did twelve 100's the year 
before. Like you said, not necessarily first, but darn sure finished sound...
The Rojek's have one of the most impressive programs to be found anywhere I'm 
sure. If you ever see their operation, you know they don't cut corners. They 
use some of the latest and greatest equipment like the treadmillI. They do 
most of their own riding and really study feeding, nutrition and 
electrolytes. They also have a great foundation with groundwork and spend 
lots of time on the "simple" things like teaching their horses to trot well 
in hand.
I will have the pleasure of spending a 1/2 week training with them in early 
April on my young Moyle. Can't wait!
