Queens Vase

queens vase winner Patkai

The Queens Vase is run on the Friday of the Royal Ascot meeting(Day Four) and is open to three year olds and run over a distance of two miles, making this a real test of stamina for such young horses. A Group Three event witha prize fund of £80,000 up for grabs this race is often a facinating affair with potential top class stayers on display.

Queens Vase Tip bit

One trainer who has an excellent record in this race is Mark Johnston. The Yorkshire based trainer has trained four of the last eight winners of the Queens Vase so it would be well worth noting if he has any entrants for the 2009 renewal of the race.
