I do not recall a previous Iditarod with so many scratches... 14 so far. Was a tough year and the 14 dog limit may very well have been a part...
Jesse Holmes did some major moving over night. He was 16 or 17 early yesterday IIRC and just finished 9th.
Joar made it in 6th and has to hold the record for efficient finishing...8th Iditarod and always in the top 10, no scratches. 7th has been his worst finish.
