Is there a new Hugh Neff on the trail?

IDITAROD -- For years Hugh Neff was the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race driver whose team went like crazy from Willow right up to the point it ran out of gas. Sometimes that happened as the race moved over the Alaska Range. Sometimes it happened on the Yukon River. But it inevitably happened, and then Neff struggled to the finish. The lingering question is this: Has Neff altered his style, or is this just a lead-dog problem? "I'm much more interested in having a good race and doing things right than winning a race," he said.
