Geojimali came from another parish to claim the totescoop6 Handicap in the hands of John Egan.
In a race of rapidly-changing complexion, the Jim Goldie-trained six-year-old showed plenty of late dash to collect at odds of 16-1.
Pawan, trained and ridden by Ann Stokell, galloped into a prominent advantage inside the final furlong but grew leg-weary inside the distance and went down to Geojimali by a head.
Goldie said: "I must admit I never thought he had got up.
"But we did fancy him - the ground was OK and everything was top dollar really.
"I told John to ride him with real balls, settling him in last and to come late."
Stokell, who was putting up 4lb overweight on runner-up Pawan, said: "I knew I was beaten but it's my own fault - I've been eating too much.
"I feel sorry for the horse, he deserves to win a race like that."
Neil Callan was suspended one day (July 15) for careless riding on fourth-placed Rising Shadow.
Callan's luck changed in the totesport.com Handicap, however, as the jockey booted home Alan Swinbank's Tarkheena Prince
(6-1) to an accomplished verdict over Hawkit.
Swinbank finished the card with a flourish as Stevie Thunder then showed courage under Paul Mulrennan to take the concluding Graphite Resources Handicap.
The Melsonby handler was winning the one-mile contest for a third consecutive season.
