Sixth Man (Duke Of York) pulled off the upset in Sunday's harness racing feature at Saratoga Casino and Raceway.
The Melissa Beckwith-trained six year old moved second over at the half but wound up dropping in behind the leader turning for home in the $14,000 Winners Over trot at the Spa.
Sixth Man closed up the passing lane and reeled in front-running Flyhawk Thriller (Stephane Bouchard) in the final few strides before stopping the timer in 1:56.2.
Mark Beckwith piloted Sixth Man to the trotter's third win in his last four starts.
The longshot victor returned $28.60 to win and led an exacta with Flyhawk Thriller that came back $116.
Just Make Believe (Jay Randall) earned the show spot and completed the triple that paid a hefty $587.
The win was one of three on the card for the meet's leading trainer Melissa Beckwith whose Blazin Benny won for the 21st time this year and whose Suegrabbitnrun set a lifetime mark trotting to victory in 1:56.
Live racing resumes on Wednesday evening with a first post time of 6:45pm.
