I could use a nice hat/cap in Illinois & love to gamble. Best wishes to all participants in AAS, how exciting for you!

Winner finish time 78 hours 30 minutes

My top picks in order:
1. Lance Mackey (knows how to push the dogs limits as well a his own of course, most motivated guy out there)
2. Ramy Brooks (rested, sprinting background in family)
3. Jeff King (conservative runner with strong team, dog management extraordinaire)
4. Cim Smyth (Known for fast times, strong company)
5. Aaorn Burmeister(can do this)

Honorable mentions to:
6. Ed Iten (his age factored him down, wish him a great run)
7. Jim Lanier (beautiful white team that I first saw with Anna running them, Awesome!)
8. Hugh Neff (has potential, my chicago guy, but may lack the push & prod needed)

notice those breakers are getting in thier to help with the race, must still be hanging out in nome, well they are good lads them breakers and are always involved in a mushing race some how, trail, record and sled are the 3 hard core followers and helpers at the races, wouldnt be right for them not to be involved with the SWEEPS.

catches cookies thrown by danny, blows off the flower petal stuck to the top and sits in on the side of the plate with my toast and coffee.


p.s. time editied to my picks
