1999 Winner Recap

The 82nd American Dog Derby was held in 1999 and was marked by howling winds and drifting snow the first day. Difficult trail conditions made it slow going for all of the teams. Sunny skies greeted the mushers on the second day, restoring everyone's spirits.

Sam Perrino is from the town of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Although that was his first time competing in the American Dog Derby, he and his team of Alaskan Huskies managed to win the 10 dog race, just ahead of second place winner Dave Torgerson of Elliston, Montana. Martin Koenig, a veteren musher from Seeley Lake, Montana, was competing in his second American Dog Derby race. His previous year Martin came in second place and in 1999 he was third.

Ray Gordon has become an institution at the American Dog Derby. Every year he competes in either the 10 dog or 6 dog race. In 1999, Ray and his Alaskan Huskies took first place in the 6 dog race. Dee Ogden finished second and Dawn Breedlove came in third.
