Aliy will be starting with 11 dogs from Whitehorse later today. She has seven Quest rookies!
Tiny Lydia and rookie Cayenne will be the main leaders backed up by experienced Mismo and Quest Champ Chena if their leadership skills are required. Coffee litter siblings and rookies Sanka, Decaf and Perky run the trail for the first time. Quest champ Five is running the shorter race after being carried for the last 50 miles of the Copper Basin. We are bringing him back cautiously in the hope he will be ready for the next race. Three year old Golden Harness litter mates QT, McCaw and Jefe hit the big time and chase their brother Bruno (in the Black Team) down the trail.

Unluckiest dog is Scooby. He made the trip all the way over to Whitehorse but in his enthusiasm to get out of the truck he tore his toenail last night and won’t be racing! He will see the trail from the back of the truck and get some time to heal.
(For any All Blacks fans out there, I think it’s fun that McCaw will be running #7 – Moira)
Woohoo! the makeup of this team.
I’m really excited to see how that big boy McCaw does.
Enjoy your race Red team.
Have a fun race, Red Team! I like the lineup of this race with 7 Quest rookies. Poor Scooby. Hopefully he will still get to race this year. Good luck Red Team, safe travels!
