NOME, Alaska (KTUU) — Bethel musher Peter Kaiser has won the 2019 Iditarod early Wednesday morning, making him the first Yup'ik Iditarod champion.

Kaiser arrived in Nome at 3:39 a.m., driving his dogs under the burled arch to fanfare and applause. He finished in 9 days, 12 hours, 39 minutes and 6 seconds.

According to Iditarod officials, Kaiser had eight dogs in harness when he crossed the finish line to win the Iditarod XLVII title. He will be awarded his prize money as well as a new 2019 Ram truck on March 17.

Kaiser came in 12 minutes ahead of defending champion Joar Leifseth Ulsom, who made a late surge, but ultimately took second place at 3:51 a.m.

I can understand dog talk.

I heard his team...."I feel so used". "Yeh...but we eat a whole lot better than a shitsu".

King Salmon Head Soup and T-Bone Steaks, more likely.

Sadly animal rights whack jobs are doing all they can to stop this event. These wonderful dogs LOVE their work, as purpose bred dogs all love their jobs. But with PETA and idiot AR folks running their narrative who knows how long this race will continue.
