Leonard,Steph

40% completion rate would be bad news for us .Much too high as most horses 
will be new to this distance .We do mostly 120's here . Only had 3 160's in 
2 years so far here .Completion rate at best 20 to 30 %.The last time we 
stated at 12 midnight and I finished at 6 pm the next day .Going by that  
you will have a good amount of morning sunshine .Suspect winner to finish 
around midday .Both you and Steph will get reasonably good horses but be 
prepared for a slow 16 hour ride ,rain or shine .Your Arrazi or Steph's 
Nikita Krushev can go faster here ,but not much .
