White Mountain - Safety - Nome and BOP

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!

Lance, then Jessie 5 secs later, on the Nome Cam
Glad Lance was able to complete this race and that Jessie worked through the team illness and finished.
(I'd buy both a beer, or 2 or 3 or more ...)

I watched some hours ago and noticed Sarah were resting on the shore before Safety. I took a peak now, her tracker is green but hasn't updated in an hour. The speed is 0.1mph. I really hope she is in Nome next time. I check...

The Iditarod surely has to have an eye on Sarah ...she has to be doing what she wants - I pretty sure that is most admiral. She's not a rookie / she's done it before. I wish/hope/think/trust she's doing well.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 16, 2019
Iditarod XLVII Media Advisory
Anchorage, Alaska – At 6:37 p.m. today, Oshi, a five-year-old female from the race team of Richie Beattie (bib #50), died at a local animal hospital in Anchorage from the preliminary diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia.
On Thursday, March 14, at 10:01 p.m., Beattie and his team finished the race. While performing post-race checkups, Iditarod Trail Committee veterinarians examining Oshi noticed signs of pneumonia. Oshi was stabilized and flown by emergency charter flight, operated by Bering Air, to Anchorage on Friday, March 15, at 4:13 p.m., for further evaluation and care. Sadly, Oshi passed away the following day.
Per rule 42 of the Iditarod official race rules, Beattie has been withdrawn from the race and is fully cooperating with Iditarod officials. Per rule 41, all canine athletes are “under the jurisdiction of the Race Marshal from the time they enter the staging area at the start until 72 hours after they have been released by ITC veterinarians or 48 hours after the final musher finishes.”
A gross necropsy will be conducted by a board-certified veterinary pathologist to make every effort to determine the official cause of death.
