2025 Queen's Vase Preview

Established in 1838, the Queen's Vase was initially run over two miles but was reduced to one mile and six furlongs in 2017.

The Group 2 race is open to three-year-olds only in which any previous Group 1 winner receives a 3lb penalty whilst fillies receive a 3lb allowance.

Queen's Vase Information:

We also have a dedicated Royal Ascot tips page that will cover this race as well as all of the other races on the day of the race, see which runners the OLBG racing tipsters are predicting to win this race and the others on the cards. We cover every race at Royal Ascot and below you can find links to all of the races for each of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday. In addition to those, we also cover numerous races at Ascot during the flat season, you can find links to those here.

How competitive is the Queen's Vase market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2021 when the race had an over-round of 102%. The race in 2016 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 134%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Queen's Vase, the over-round has been 119%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £119 which is bet.

Queen's Vase Trends:

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? From the past 20 if you had followed the winner of the Queen's Vase next time out then you would have backed a total of 9 winners. Backing all 19 runners who have been out since to win at SP next time out, would have returned an LSP of +22.90. Remember to bookmark the racing tips page to easily access the OLBG racing picks daily.

Over the last 20 renewals, it was Illinois, trained by A P O'Brien and ridden by Ryan Moore who set the fastest winning time in the Queen's Vase, the runner won the race in a time of 3:00.57 when winning the race in 2024. At the other end of the scale, it was the combination of trainer Mark Johnston and jockey Silvestre De Sousa with Namibian who set the slowest winning time, the race-winning time was 3:40.97 in the 2011 renewal.

These are the top three quickest-run Queen's Vase over the last 20 renewals:
