What happened in the Queen's Vase last year?
Carmers set a new course record for the 1m6f trip when landing the Queen’s Vase for Paddy Twomey. Billy Lee’s mount extended his unbeaten record to three with a game success over another progressive stayer in Furthur. Pinhole and Asmarani shared favouritism but were well beaten in a race that lacked the quality of previous runnings.
