Reddington is the 11th musher to scratch.

News just broke that Ryan Reddington scratched this afternoon citing concerns for his dogs - they reportedly were not feeling well. This brings the number of teams to not finish this year's race to 11.

The leap frogging has been going on all day for the top mushers as well as the middle of the pack. It's still anyone's game, though Mackey is making it clear it's his to lose at this point. He is fiercely determine to get four in a row, a feat not accomplished by any musher. It will also solidify that he needs no drugs to enhance his performance (nevermind that's not what the ITC says the drug testing was about).

Continuing to follow the GPS tracker and waiting for official reports to come out via Iditarod.com... it's gonna be a long night, I can tell ya that much!
