Pune: Irishman David Egan gave an amazing ride to his first mount on an Indian track, steering three-year-old filly Questina to a sensational win in the Raza Ali Plate.

Not the quickest out of the gates, Questina and Egan found themselves in trouble as horses from either side jumped into their path. The overwhelming favourite looked seriously vulnerable when Egan was forced to slow her down and position closer to the rear, with 10 of the 13 rivals racing ahead.
