Yukon Quest 300 – Day 3
Today was a ‘massacre’ in the 300. Simi Morrison ((58), Dave King (57), and Jake Berkowitz (61) scratched at Carmacks. Jim Bruton (69) was withdrawn, probably for failing to make progress. The stunner was a rookie mistake by Marcelle Fressineau (63) that got her disqualified. She didn’t get the mandatory vet check at Braeburn.
Michelle has a lead over Aliy as they once again vie for the win with 50 miles to go.
