Overturn completed a remarkable double when winning the Guinness Galway Hurdle at the Ballybrit track.
Winner of the Northumberland Plate on the Flat at Newcastle last month, the six-year-old made virtually all of the running to give Donald McCain a valuable success.
Graham Lee, whose parents live within walking distance of the track, had an armchair ride on Overturn, who scored by five and a half lengths from last year's winner Bahrain Storm, with Dirar a close-up third.
McCain said: "That was the sort of performance I was hoping for. He's improved all year and when I first bought him I was hoping he was this good, but it hadn't happened.
"I don't know what the plan is but he's still in the Ebor. I've asked him some tough questions and he's kept answering, so whether he needs a break or not I don't know, we'll see. It was always the plan to make the running and Graham says he's a machine."
Lee said: "It's a dream come true, there is no other way to put it. It's huge credit to the horse because he's won a Scottish Champion Hurdle, a Northumberland Plate and now a Galway Hurdle, so he's been on the go a while.

Pat Smullen is a long odds-on favourite to be the top Flat jockey at this week's Galway Festival for the fourth year in a row.
With the formidable support of trainer Dermot Weld to count on, Smullen is a 1-3 favourite with William Hill to take the title again.
With Ruby Walsh still out through injury, his colleague at Willie Mullins' yard, Paul Townend, is evens with the Leeds-based firm to take the top jump jockey award at Ballybrit.
"Pat Smullen looks like he'll have another decent book of rides for his boss Dermot Weld and yet again he'll be the one to beat in the Galway Flat jockeys' title," said Hills spokesman Tony Kenny.
Bookmakers expect Weld to have another profitable meeting and the master of Rosewell House is 6-4 with Ladbrokes to train between five and seven winners. He is 2-1 to have less than five and 13-8 to have more than seven.
Barshiba wins successive Oaks
Barshiba (7-2) claimed a tenacious second victory in the Bet365
Lancashire Oaks at Haydock under Hayley Turner.
The one-eyed chestnut made all the running but was attacked
on all sides inside the final two-furlongs, with Lady Jane Digby,
Grace O'Malley and Polly's Mark chief amongst them.
The six-year-old, a winner of the Group Two event 12 months ago, kept pulling out more though and she pulled away again at the furlong pole.
Polly's Mark (3-1f) threw down a late challenge under Richard Hughes but despite being slightly hampered late on, was never going to get to the winner, who had threequarters of a length to spare.

Martin Dwyer faces a few days on the sidelines following a nasty incident in the stalls at Lingfield last Wednesday.
The 2006 Derby-winning jockey escaped with just soft tissue and ligament damage to his left ankle after fears that he may have suffered a fracture proved unfounded.
He was hurt when Brave Tango, his intended mount in the arenaleisureplc.com Selling Stakes, played up in the stalls.
Dwyer was taken to East Surrey Hospital for an X-ray which revealed there was no fracture.
Undefeated American mare Zenyatta is being lined up to
come out of her brief retirement this year.
Owners Jerry and Ann Moss said Zenyatta would stop
racing after becoming the first female to win the
Breeders' Cup Classic in November at Santa Anita.
She seemed set for a breeding career with a record
of 14 straight wins.
But after watching the six-year-old on the gallops and
consulting with the trainer, Jerry Moss revealed the
horse looked "too good".
The daughter of Street Cry produced a sensational performance to win the Breeders' Cup Classic last year, with jockey Mike Smith proclaiming her as "the horse of the decade by far"
It was the first time in the race's 26-year history that a female had triumphed.
Moss did not say where Zenyatta, named after the 1980 album "Zenyatta Mondata" by The Police, will make her return, although she has run almost exclusively in southern California.
He added: "It's what she likes to do and that's what we decided to do, so we're going to run her."
It raises the prospect of a showdown with fellow star Rachel Alexandra, who won all of her eight races in 2009.
