Comet nips rivals in Bud

EXPRESS Comet edged out market rival Large Mac in a thrilling final of the Tinys Bud Open 550 at Curraheen Park on Saturday.

Jaxerback and Comical Mix were both absent, leaving a four runner field but what the race lacked in numbers it more than made up for in excitement.

Consolation Laurels winner Express Comet, trained by Owen McKenna, was light in the market at evens as punters got stuck into 6/4 chance Large Mac.
