Tony Radford running not-Draggin'-at-all-Flies dogs stormed to first in the twelve mile, closely followed by "a working at producing more mushers" Crispin Studer (which explains why he was a little tired), with Lee Kirkpatrick trying out her "C" team in third. Well done to all of them, but with Kyla Boivin off fumbling about in some bush somewhere today's placing's allowed Snowpigs' two dog team of Assman and Emma (herself a Lee Kirkpatrick dog) with skijoring Jon Lucas to seize the League Title and the Copper Trophy (which he's been after for three years!).
Jeff Diment cemented his Title charge with another First in the Kid's race and won the League with Erin Spicer taking League second and Keagan Hopkins taking League Third - although he didn't know about it because he was sulking after taking an early bath after being dumped by his dog team somewhere on the trail and having a long, slow walk back... we're not aware his mother told him about the $75 as she pocketed it at the awards ceremony!
Snowpigs were back with Asha in the Pet Dog League, taking first from Keno and Heather Desmarais - no-one else came out to race the Pet-dog often enough to qualify for the other League places - and next season will see a tightening of the qualifications for this race - it ain't a race for old/retired/not-so-good trained sled dogs, it's for Pet Dogs!
Thanks to all the volunteers and sponsors and racers!!
