Gatt looks towards 4th YQ win

With the SPOT tracking devices showing Yukon Quest leaders Hans Gatt, Lance Mackey, and Hugh Neff all within 10 miles of each other, Whitehorse resident Hans Gatt is looking to capture his 4th title as his teams heads through familiar territory to the Whitehorse finsh line in what will be the fastest Quest ever. If he get there first, he might have a kink in his neck from looking behind him for the one guy who has already won this race 4 times. It looks now like he should cross the finish line shortly after 2PM pacific time. Below is a link to the webcam at the finish line.

Back at Braeburn, there is another dogfight developing for 4th place. Both Zack Steer and Ken Anderson arrived at this checkpoint within 1 minute of each other. they will take their mandatory 8 hour layover and depart for the trail again 1 minute apart with Anderson in the lead and 100 miles of trail to the finish. With nobody threatening from behind, it will be interesting to see if they back off the pace or race each other to the very end. Both must consider how their strategy will position themselves for the Iditarod race in 2 weeks time.
