Terang’s Jason Lee is now a three-time Alabar Concession Drivers Premiership winner.
The 21-year-old gun reinsman had his best season in 2015-16 with 117 wins nationally taking his career tally to 330.
And with his victory in the concession drivers’ premiership Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) has announced Lee will be the state’s representative at the 2016 Australasian Young Drivers Championship (AYDC).
“To win the Alabar Concession Drivers Premiership three times in a row is a remarkable feat and Jason will certainly do Victoria proud at the Australasian Young Drivers Championship,” HRV Chairman Dale Monteith said.
The AYDC is one of the initiatives at this year’s Inter Dominion in Perth with 10 drivers from across Australasia, including four from New Zealand and one each from the six Australian trots states, to compete in a series of 10 races across six meetings in Western Australia.
The contest to be crowned the Australasian champion will begin on December 2 and culminate on Inter Dominion Grand Final night on December 9.
Lee joins Robbie Close, defending champion from NZ, hometown hero Stuart McDonald (WA), NSW’s Todd McCarthy, SA’s Jayson Finnis, Tassie’s Wade Rattray, Qld’s Nathan Dawson, and Kiwis Brad Williamson (South Island), Kyle Marshall (North Island) and Matt Anderson in the AYDC.
