Day 9 – Heading South
William Kleedehn (12), Hugh Neff (23), Jon Little (18), and Sebastian Schnuelle (20) are beyond Circle. Brent Sass (13) is there. Michelle Phillips (26), Martin Buser (8), and Warren Palfrey (19) are on their way.
Hugh Neff is only 14 minutes behind William Kleedehn, but he has two fewer dogs on his team.
Among the lead teams only Jon Little, Brent Sass and Michelle Philips don’t have the Iditarod facing them after this race ends.
Newton Marshall, the Jamaican musher, is hanging in there at 15, the last money position, and he still has 11 dogs. This is a great rookie run.
The back of the race still hasn’t arrived at Eagle, but they should be there this afternoon.
