Foolish to think that a sudden heart failure is the fault of anyone. My neighbor died, just running on a treadmill. My chemistry professor died running a marathon. Both guys essentially died doing what they love: running.
No different for dogs. These dogs pass rigorous vet-checks right before the race.
Each musher spends an average of $8000 in vet checks, immunizations, medicines and dewormers per year for their kennels. In spite of this, things can happen.
Over 600 dogs started the race this year. Do the math on that.........
