9 — Al Borak from Newberry, Michigan.
Age 65.
Al is a detail guy who’s learned to read dogs, and how to take care of them. His special power is preparing young dogs to be world class racers which is exactly what he plans to do with a talented group of youngsters from Bruce and Laura Magnusson’s kennel. He says that at age 65 his list of hobbies is getting shorter and he’s spending more time planting trees on his family’s property and growing raspberries. “The Stage Stop is absolutely my favorite race.”
