Lets see...where did I leave off...oh yes...the Seaveys along with the other top ten are waiting their 8 hour rest in Ruby, as expected. Ailey, also as expected, is trying to make a move now, by blowing by Ruby, and right now she is 4 miles outside of the Galena checkpoint....physically in first place, but technically already 8 hours to make up with the Leader Pack. Somewhere, in the next 150 miles....Ailey HAS to take an 8 hour break. I believe this is how Mackey won once...its a gamble, but can pay off. If you see Ailey rest just a bit in Galena....then jump back out to hold the lead...watch out...she will make it really interesting. If, however she drops stays, and lets the pack drive past as she takes her 8 hr...then watch for Baker to make a move on the Seaveys....and reports are that Burmiesters Team is the strongest looking Team parked in Ruby! Check in often...and when you go to bed....do the math and set the alarm...your musher might be checking in as the LEAD TEAM in the Great Race!!
BTW....Mitch is on the move....the race to catch the rabbit is ON!!!
