Hong Kong Vase

The Hong Kong Vase is a Group 1 flat horse race in Hong Kong which is open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run over a distance of 2,400 metres (about $1 1/2$ miles or 12 furlongs) at Sha Tin, and it is scheduled to take place each year in mid December.

The race was first run in 1994, and it was promoted to Group 1 status in 2000. It is one of the four Hong Kong International Races, and it presently offers a purse of HK$24,000,000 (approximately US$3 million).
