Overturn Turns Them Over!


Overturn put up a brilliant front-running display to land the totesport.com Chester Cup on the Roodee in spectacular style.

Bursting out of stall one on the rail under Eddie Ahern, the 11-2 shot dictated affairs and powered to victory to give local trainer Donald McCain an amazing double after winning the Grand National with Ballabriggs.

Ahern ensured no prisoners were taken as he asked Overturn for everything and he kept pulling out more to win by a length and three-quarters. Tastahil plugged away to hang on for second place, with Mystery Star two and a quarter lengths back in third and David Wachman's Mount Athos fourth.
