Yukon Quest '09Saturday, February 21, 2009More from Thom
While Brent is cruising his way to Circle City, I thought I would chime in one more time to reassure everyone that Brent is running right on schedule. It was his intention to be on the heels of Sebastian all the way into Circle if possible and then hopefully they would both be within striking distance to Hugh Neff and Jon Little. We'll see if that's the case, but it's good to see that Brent is sticking to his plan and not changing things up to try and gain on William Kleedehn.
It's a sunny and beautiful day here in Dawson. Josh Horst was up this morning to watch Iris Wood Sutton leave Dawson. She has Jerry of the Wild and Free Kennel in her team, and from all reports, Jerry was overly enthusiastic as she is known to be leaving today. We all hope to hear only good things when Iris makes it into Circle. I'll be in Dawson until Sunday or Monday, so if anyone has anymore questions please feel free to ask.

Brent has apparently had to drop another dog. I know of Thunder, Eagle and Madonna. Do you know the 4th one? Do you know how many dogs he finished with last year?
Thanks for all the info. John, Liverpool, NY # posted by

John, since the dog was dropped in Eagle, we will not know which dog was dropped until Mark and Kyla get to Circle City and call into Aren Gunderson to have him update the blog. If there are any Vets left in Dawson I will ask them for the info and see if I can get it.
I would speculate that it is Heckle, since Brent has mentioned that she looses focus after 4-500 miles. She is great until there, but her future might just be in leading the puppy teams, in qualifying races. I also believe that he finished with 9 dogs last year. I will try to do some checking to get the correct number. The jumble ice is taking a toll on all the mushers and their sleds, so I would expect to see a few more dropped dogs by Circle, and potentially some scratching mushers. Thom
the dropped dog is Molly. she has a sore shoulder but will be ok after some TLC.
brent finished with 8 dogs last year. kyla # posted by
