Yukon Quest TFP 2018 (winner announce)

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

A litte statistics while the teams are finishing their stay in Dawson.

7 have picked Allen Moore first, 6 Matt Hall for the first spot. 16, which means all contestants, have Allen on the podium (7 in first, 4 second, 5 in third). It's almost the same with Matt, 6 has him first, 7 in sevond place, none have guessed third, but three people have him in fourth and fifth position. These two mushers really stands out in the picks.

Based on all the picks, this is our result list: Allen, Matt, Hugh, Paige, Ed, Ryne, Katherine, Torsten, Dave, Vebjørn, Mike and Bernhard.

Unfortunately, four of these is out of the race :(

Looking at the ROTY picks, 4 has Vebjørn and Bernhard, Nathaniel Hamlyn have 3 picks.

Thanks Flower! Luck was the key to my success ;-)
What a tough race for everyone. It was a heart breaker for Hugh to lose a dog, and then to have Paige's team preform so well, and not Make Whitehorse is gut wrenching.
Thanks to everyone who posted their insight and news where ever it could be found, what a great group people we have here!
