It is run over a distance of 1 mile, 4 furlongs and 63 yards (Script error: No such module "convert".) 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.[1]
For a period the race was contested over 1 mile, 5 furlongs and 75 yards.[2] It was restricted to three-year-olds and cut to 1 mile, 4 furlongs and 53 yards in 1959.[3] It was abandoned in 1969,[4] and extended by several yards in 1970.[5]
The Chester Vase serves as a trial for the Epsom Derby. The last horse to win both races was Lambourn in 2025.
