Crossword Genius

Dominate worst tour (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bestride

'dominate' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'worst tour' is the wordplay.
'worst' becomes 'best' (both can mean to beat someone).
'tour' becomes 'ride'.
'best'+'ride'='BESTRIDE'

(Other definitions for bestride that I've seen before include "get a legover?" , "Stand over protectively" , "Mount" , "Get across" , "Protect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
