Traditionally used as a potential trial for the St Leger at Doncaster later in the season, the Queen's Vase will see only the most stamina-laden horses of the Classic generation line up in what is a real war of attrition.

What is the Queen's Vase Stakes? 

Taking place on day two of Royal Ascot, the Queen's Vase is a Group Two race that attracts some of the elite three-year-old stayers in the UK & Ireland, and it can often be used as a significant trial for the St Leger later in the season.

First run in 1838, the Queen's Vase has moved around the Royal Ascot schedule, but now sits in the race two slot on day two of the meeting, and it follows the Queen Mary Stakes, so the Wednesday kicks off with the juvenile fillies battling it out over five furlongs in the Queen Mary and then the three-year-olds compete over this long distance in the Queen's Vase, with all the runners holding aspirations to become a potential Cup horse in the coming seasons.

What happened in the 2019 Queen's Vase Stakes? 

Aidan O'Brien's Norway was sent off the clear favourite for the 2019 Queen's Vase Stakes, but the Ballydoyle raider failed to land any sort of blow and it was the Andrew Balding-trained 6/1 shot Dashing Willoughby that rattled home to deny Aidan O'Brien's Barbados and Mark Johnston's Nayef Road, who finished second and third in an action-packed renewal.
