PETE Comiskey rated Marnies Destiny one of the best horses he has ridden after winning the Black Toyota Canning Downs Campdraft on the stallion.

Comiskey was in Warwick with 11 horses between him and partner Bryony Puddicombe.

The Nebo rider scored 88 in the final for a two-round score of 267 to win by one point from Warwick rider Ben Tapp who finished with 266 on Oaks Corrina.

Tapp scored one point more than Comiskey but had to catch up two points after the first two rounds of the draft.

Charters Towers rider Jess Glenwright riding Diamond and Wally Rea on Annie were equal third on 265.

Warwick rider Sarah Cookson was equal ninth on Tactic after being first into the arena in a final field of 38.

Comiskey started campdrafting at age eight and is at the prime of his career at 45.

"I will keep competing while I am still competitive," he said.

The stallion is owned by Rick Young from Dalby who has had Comiskey as the rider for Marnies Destiny for the past seven years.

"Pete is the best drafter in the country and is a professional at what he does," Young said.

The Canning Downs win on Saturday was the fifth for Comiskey in Warwick.

He has two Canning Downs wins, two in the stallion draft and one in the Warwick Gold Cup.

Two of the wins have been on Marnies Destiny, a horse on which Puddicombe scored the highest first-round score in the ladies.

Warwick campdraft chairman Brian Boyce said the week-long event at the Warwick Showgrounds was second to none.

"We are trying to fit in all competitors who want to nominate," Boyce said.

He was high in praise of the cattle donors and made special mention of Mac and Gayle Shann, from Clermont, who sent cattle to a feedlot in the Warwick area just so they would be right for campdrafting action.

Owning the cattle didn't make a difference to Mac.

His own beast made sure he didn't get a score on Miss Heart Acre for horsework.
