Sass said he also has a sentimental motivation for finishing strong in the upcoming Iditarod: It might be the last race for his longtime leader, 7-year-old Slater. Sass called Slater the best sled dog he might ever drive. Brent Sass pets lead dog Slater, while Pink licks his face before the start of the 550-mile Yukon Quest “I’m no Dallas and I’m no Mitch,” said 34-year-old Turner. “But I’m going to do the best I can.
“Once I knew I was coming I was doing multiple kilometers on a bike or running just to get that fitness level up,” he said.
