[RC] Current 100 Mile Horses - rides2far

Note: Anyone avoiding chit chat but liking debate skip to part 2 at
bottom of post!

Wow Karen. GREAT website! When I get time I'm going to study the whole
thing but what I looked at was the section on stats for prominent 100's.
Very interesting. For instance, Tevis & Biltmore have the most entries
and the lowest completion rates. Does that mean more people will enter
tough rides or more 1st timers feel comfortable entering big named rides
with good reputations? 

I was surprised to see Biltmore had such a low completion rate. I'm 4
for 4 on 100 mile completions there and always considered it a good place
to try a 1st hundred. Heck, maybe I *should* try Tevis. >g<

My only regret is that I can't sign up for the PNR program. I think the
SERA's 3 100's in one year 100 mile club really falls short. It's a short
term goal and you start all over at "0" each year. I really like the long
term aspect of this one, it will appeal to a much wider audience.

***Part 2********

Question to anyone else who's read this far. (Truman, if you
answer...answer the QUESTION not whether you think anything has a
statistical basis yada yada yada)

What numbers should AERC go with?

Here's a few options:  

PNR  bronze =1 100 & 1000 miles,  silver=3 100's  2000 miles, gold = 5
100's & 3000 miles Platinum 10 100's & 5000 miles.

AERC proposal:  bronze: 2 100's 1000 miles,  silver=4 100's 2000 miles,
gold=6 100's 3000

My original  bronze 1 100 1000 miles  silver 3 100's 2000 miles gold: 7
100's 3000 miles.

What do you think of alternate ranking *in addition* to above of straight
100's...maybe with a base number of miles:

Such as once they've made the above qualifications for bronze 1 or 2
100's & 1000 miles, 5 100's gives you silver and 10 gives you gold
regardless of mileage?  This would keep horses like "Honey" who has
something like 2,600 miles and 24 100's from not making gold.
