What is the Chester Vase?
The Chester Vase is a Group 3 race run over 1m 4f and 63 yards and takes place during Chester's May meeting. Attracting some of the premier three-year-old colts and geldings in training, this Group 3 contest at the Roodee is one of the early season trials for the Epsom Derby, with those horses with Classic aspirations looking for a confidence-building victory before trying to claim Classic glory at Epsom Downs later in the season.
First run in 1907, the first running of the race ended in a dead-heat, but since then it's grown in stature and the most memorable winner of the race came in 1981 when the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Shergar bounded to glory before going on to become a runaway winner of the Derby. More recently, Aidan O'Brien has been a dominant figure saddling a host of winners in the race, and in 2017 Wings Of Eagles landed success in the race before emulating the mighty Shergar and claiming Derby glory at Epsom Downs.
