Some of the most talented horses we've seen in the British Classic series have shown up again today for the Chester Vase!
Rhapsody's Vain is narrowly the favorite after his win last out in the Lingfield Derby Trial. His stablemate, Thanos, is just slightly behind in odds. This will be his debut in Britain, yet the Hard Tack-bred colt has had impressive performances elsewhere. Hard Tack's General Disarray has been a persistent contender in Britain and is one of the most experienced horses in the field. It's possible he's being underestimated today. His stablemate, Noble Hierarch, is the only filly to have won two trials this year, as she had a tenacious victory in the Cheshire Oaks a little over a week ago. Rhapsody's Purity and Hard Tack's Messalina may just be a little overwhelmed by the rest of the contenders in this Classic series, as these less-experienced fillies have yet to establish themselves in Britain, though Purity did eke out a 3rd place finish in the Cheshire Oaks.
