After almost losing his position as He's Got Game emerged from the stalls, Oisin Murphy recovered to dramatically land Windsor's mile handicap.
Hugo Palmer's horse, the 7-4 favourite, staggered when he came out of stall three, almost knocking Murphy from the saddle, but the rider managed to hold onto the three-year-old's neck and keep the partnership intact.
After their exciting start, the two were sent to the back, but the three-time British champion Flat jockey managed to gather himself and his horse, then made his way through the pack to deny Global Asset by a neck.
Murphy said: "Sometimes you get lucky. He just took a bad step, but he's quite a big horse so managed to prop himself back up. It probably worked out well because I would've gone forward, but perhaps we'd have been run off the bend a bit. Instead, it ended up being quite smooth. He kind of found his own feet and it was about getting myself back into the plate in the end. I ended up behind Tom [Marquand, Global Asset's jockey] and you always know you're in a good spot if you can follow him in a race."
He's Got Game, who was defeated by half a length on his seasonal comeback over course and distance, was winning for the first time in his career, and Palmer had not won since winning the Chester Cup with Zoffee on Friday.
Murphy went on: "He had his three starts last year and his run the other day was good. It would be nice if the owners could have a few good days out with him."
When Murphy doubled up on Cuban Melody in the 6f novice race, he had a more comfortable passage. On Sunday, he also had a four-timer at Newcastle.
