Bookies' favourite wins Chester race

Favourite backers got their money back 35 minutes later when 11-8 chance Global Genius took the Blue Square 0800 587 0200 EBF Maiden Stakes to give trainer Barry Hills his fourth victory in the race in the last five years.

The winner was ridden by his son Michael, who produced the Galileo colt to lead inside the last of the seven furlongs and gain the day by a length from the front-running Mutamarres.
