Four-year-old Miss American Pie (Gleneagles - Reine Australe) hit the front from the word go, and continued to cut blazing fractions to comfortably win the feature event, the Akkasaheb Maharaj Trophy (Gr 3), clocking the smart time of 1m:08.190s. Miss American Pie was trained by MK Jadhav and ridden by NS Parmar. 

The same trainer-jockey pair had won the Star Future Plate with Exuma. The bookmakers offered almost toss-of-the-coin odds of 11/10 each on both Big Red (S Saqlain up) and Exuma (NS Parmar up) in the Star Future Plate, and the horses justified their assessment with Exuma finishing only half a length ahead of Big Red after running over the mile-and-a-half trip.
