Second Stakes-Winner for Overshare
Overshare filly Storyville came from last on the turn under a rails-hugging ride by Willie Pike to capture Saturday’s Group III Tabtouch – WA Champion Fillies Stakes (1600m) at Ascot.
A seventh win in the race for trainers Grant and Alana Williams and a sixth for Pike, Storyville only went around one horse, the tiring Diamond Dancer, to win a length and three-quarters.
The victory starkly contrasted to Storyville’s previous start when she went to the line untested in the Listed Burgess Queen Stakes.
What a Story!

With her stakes breakthrough, the talented filly advances her record to three wins and a third from six starts with earnings of $224,350.
A half-sister to stakes-placed winners Crescent City and Axeman’s Jazz, Storyville was bred by her trainers.
She is the fourth winner from five to race for the unraced Time Thief mare New Orleans, a half-sister to seven-time stakes winner Battle Hero and to the dam of Group II winner Treasured Star.
Storyville is the second stakes-winner, after Group I heroine Lady Laguna, for Widden Stud’s I Am Invincible stallion Overshare, a bargain priced option in Victoria at $5,500.
