Re: Horse Racing
World aiming for Vase rule

Aidan O'Brien has won the MBNA Chester Vase three times in the last six years and the champion Irish trainer sends the once-raced Ruler Of World to the Roodee for the Group Three contest on Thursday.
The half-brother to multiple Group One winner Duke Of Marmalade earned quotes of around 20-1 for the Investec Derby after making a successful debut in a mile-and-a-quarter maiden at the Curragh a month ago.
He faces just four rivals including Feel Like Dancing, who made a successful racecourse bow less than three weeks ago.
"He won OK on his debut. The second (Boite) has won since, this is really a fact-finding mission to see at what class he should be aimed at," said Hugo Lascelles, racing manager to owner Lady Bamford.
