Extrasensory and Tom Madden (near) beat Shareva © Photo Healy Racing
Extrasensory swooped from last to first, under Tom Madden, to spring a 50/1 shock in the mile fillies maiden at Cork.
The Jessica Harrington-trained daughter of Arcano (also sire of earlier winner Tullyallen was held up in the early stages before making up ground in the straight to challenge a furlong-and-a-half out.
She got the better of Shareva inside the final furlong and went on to post a length-and-three-quarters winning margin over that rival.
Extrasensory had finished last on both her outings as a juvenile last season.
“That's my first winner and it's great to get the ball rolling, especially for Jessie as well,” said Madden.
“She's been doing well at home and done well since last year so I was hoping for a nice run but to get her to win a maiden was great.
“She just kept going and that was the longest furlong I've ever ridden in a race!
“She was gutsy and every time I got stuck into her she responded for me.”
