Wikipedia / Chester Vase

|} The Chester Vase is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to three-year-old colts and geldings. It is run over a distance of 1mile, 4furlongs and 63yards () at Chester in May.

History

The event was established in 1907, and it was originally open to horses aged three or four. The result of the first running was a dead-heat.

For a period the race was contested over 1mile, 5furlongs and 75yards. It was restricted to three-year-olds and cut to 1mile, 4furlongs and 53yards in 1959. It was not held in 1969, and extended by several yards in 1970.

The Chester Vase serves as a trial for the Epsom Derby. The last horse to win both races was Lambourn in 2025.
