Chester May Festival 2024: Hidden Law breaks down after winning the Chester Vase

There was a hugely sad ending to the Boodles Chester Vase Stakes as winner Hidden Law suffered a fatal injury after the line on day one of the Boodles Chester May Festival.

"Most importantly, I feel so sorry for His Highness Sheikh Mohammed and Team Godolphin. To have a horse like him potentially coming through the ranks was exciting for everybody. It's a sad day. She looks set to head to Epsom now and is a best-priced 14-1 with bet365 for the Fillies' Classic behind the current favourite, the O'Brien-trained Ylang Ylang is 11-4 with William Hill and BetVictor following Sunday's fifth-placed finish in the QIPCO 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket.

Winning jockey Ryan, who was landing a first winner at Chester on his 40th ride, added: "We went an okay gallop, they steadied up down the back and we got racing three out. She's still showed a lot of signs of inexperience when I had to come out from behind and be a bit aggressive on her, but you can't be but impressed by the way she got out and had a look around and still when the job needed to be done, she stuck her head down and galloped right out to the line.

Dascombe, who now trains in Lambourn, said: "She went to Newmarket , we're not hard on them at home, and she didn't know what to do when she came off the bridle. She'd clearly learned a lot today and won. We'll see how she is but she has loads of speed so I'd suggest she'll go to York for the Marygate. She's won a twenty-grand bonus today, prize-money is always good at Chester so she's more than paid for herself already and I love her.
