38 Thursday March 22 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Sport Co-driver could be youngest rally winner • By Gordon Findlater JARED HUDSON could be the youngest co-driver in the world to win a rally, but no one is quite sure. The 13-year-old was in the passenger seat for 2017 national rally championship runner-up Matt Summerfield on Saturday. The pair won the Westland Rally finishing just 4.5sec ahead of Darren Galbraith’s car which was being co-driven by Jared’s father Rocky Hudson. Jared comes from a family of co-drivers. His parent’s Rocky and Lisa met through the sport as “motorsport groupies.” Lisa then co-drove for Rocky during the 1990s before he gave up driving due to the high costs associated with rallying and the pair starting a family. However, they weren’t done with the sport. Rocky traded in the driver’s seat for pace notes and since 2001 he has ridden shotgun with some of the country’s top drivers including Andrew Hawkeswood, Mark Tapper and Dean Buist. Jared’s sister Amy also took up co-driving in 2014 and became the youngest co-driver to win a national title at just 16 when she won the NZ 2WD championship with Dylan Thompson last year. All four will contest this year’s national rally championship. Rocky with Darren Galbraith, Lisa with Brian Stokes, Amy with Dylan Thompson and Jared with David Taylor. Jaren has been co-driving since he was 12 and took part in his first recce (pace note) event at the Canterbury Rally last year. Even Summerfield was amazed with how calm and collected the young co-driver was as they weaved their way through the West Coast forestry roads at high speed.

He said I had to beat that.” “We ended up hitting 208km/h,” said Jared. “Even though we were going 10 times faster than I’m used to going I didn’t feel scared at all. I loved every minute of it and it was secretly awesome to beat Dad.” As for Jared being the world’s youngest rally winner, no one is quite sure. However, there’s no evidence found yet to suggest he’s not. “It’s certainly very rare. We don’t have that kind of thing on ON THE PACE: (Left to right) – Jared 13, Rocky, 52, and Amy, 16, are part of an all co-driver family.

On Saturday, Cashmere will make their 14th finals appearance in 15 years when they play Elmwood in the premier final. Cashmere’s premier team now has five players in Canterbury Tennis’ 100 club after their No 1 player James Meredith became the 20th to join the list of • By Gordon Findlater THE ROBERT Dunn Racing Stable has accepted the charges laid by the Racing Integrity Unit in relation to the return of positive swabs from the Nelson Winter Cup twoday meeting in June. THe Judicial Control Authority for Racing confirmed yesterday that the Dunn stable accepted the charges. A judicial committee are currently looking over the case and a disciplinary decision is expected in the coming weeks. THe Dunn stable is players who have won 100 premier interclub singles matches during their semifinal win last weekend. He joined his older brothers Matt and Tim in the club. Cashmere’s McHarg brothers Johnny and Tim are also members of the club that include the likes of Alistair Hunt, Glenn Wilson and Peter Hampton.

THey returned four positive swabs for caffeine at the Nelson meeting which took place from June 9 to 11. THree of the horses which tested positive were directly from the Dunn stable, while the fourth was from Craig and Aimee Edmonds’ stable. However, that horse was under the care of the Dunn stable, which took it to Nelson.

In New Zealand, a competition licence can be issued to junior competitors from age 12, providing they have passed their rally licence test and compete only on closed roads. In Australia and the United Kingdom, participants cannot co-drive in special stage rallies until they are 16. With his first rally win already under his belt already Jared is looking to add more to the list and maybe even get behind the wheel himself. “Eventually I do want to get into driving, but if I do want to go professional I may be best to stick with co-driving,” said Jared. Cashmere aims for fifth title The tie begins at Cashmere on Saturday at 2.30pm. Cashmere and Elmwood will also contest the men’s division one final on Sunday at Cashmere in what is expected to be a successful weekend over the club’s bar. “We’ve got a great relationship with Elmwood, it will be a great weekend for both clubs. Win or lose we’re looking forward to winding down with them afterwards,” said Cashmere captain Matt Meredith. Dunn stable accepts charges nobbled – where the caffeine is administered by an outside party. His claim caused rifts within the Canterbury harness racing community. He also enlisted the help of a private investigator to undertake his own investigation. The Dunn stable is currently second in the harness racing trainer’s premiership with 55 wins – 17 behind Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen. Robert Dunn has three previous convictions for breaches of the prohibited substance rule.
