St. Goddard Creates New Record To Win Famous Dog Derby
Blurry - dull in contrast imagery St. Goddard Creates New Record To Win Famous Dog Derby Quebec With his powerful team of cross-breeds of malamutes and Russian wolf-hounds straining every muscle, the Canadian Olympic champion completes the grueling 41-mile 'mush' with a new course record, winning by a narrow margin of two minutes from Shorty Russick, famous 50-year-old western driver. Although Russick breaks three marks during the terrific race over the snow-covered trails, st. Goddard finishes with a total elapsed time of 10 hours, 28 minutes for the three laps, eclipsing the best efforts of Russick, Seppala, Girard and a host of other crack dog-sled drivers, annexing a spectacular victory in the 'mush' classic of the continent.
