Star NSW sprinter Good Odds Cobber has edged out VINCENT BALE in a thrilling finish to the Group 1 Gold Bullion (520m) at Albion Park on Thursday night. Booking a direct passage into the Gold Bullion decider with victory in the Group 2 Golden Ticket a fortnight ago, NSW-trained Good Odds Cobber made full use of the final berth and box one draw, staving off Victorian VINCENT BALE over the concluding stages to score by a half-head in 29.67 and secure a second career Group 1.

Good Odds Cobber continued his love affair with Albion Park on Thursday night with a thrilling victory in the Group 2 Golden Ticket final. ‘The Cob’ jumped brilliantly in his two-dog match race with SMOOTH PLANE, forging across to find the front from Box 3 before kicking out to a three-length lead down the back. His second section of 11.39 had race caller John Brasch audibly excited as they turned for home, with the NSW star fending off his classy Victorian rival to win in a hot time of 29.50.
