Heidi,

What I meant was there will not be many horses that do nothing by 100's 
at least today. There may be one or two but it will not be as prevalent 
as it was say 10 years ago. BTW my mare would have hit Angie's Bronze 
level with 100's (with two ) before she had 100 miles. I think that used 
to be quite common - a lot more common than today. So I feel that 
mileage should be separated from any 100 program. We already have a 
mileage program. Clearly a horse that had 18 100's deserves Gold, 
Platinum, Diamond, or whatever the highest level is independent if they 
did one mile of anything else or not.
