The Group 1 flat race is open to horses aged three years and above. It is run over one mile, one furlong and 209 yards. Named after a legendary 18th-century racehorse called Eclipse, it has been run since 1886 and sponsored by Coral since 1976.
Coral-Eclipse news and features
David Egan put Mishriff through his paces on the Newmarket gallops on Wednesday morning as the Coral-Eclipse approaches. The John and Thady Gosden-trained five-year-old has not been seen since disappointing in defence of his Saudi Cup title on dirt.
Real World is still in the mix for the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown, having chased home Baaeed on his last two outings. Saeed bin Suroor’s five-year-old got closer to William Haggas’ unbeaten star at Royal Ascot than he did in the Lockinge, although he was still beaten by a length and three-quarters.
Last season’s Derby and King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes hero Adayar will miss the Coral-Eclipse and instead head straight to Ascot to defend his all-aged middle-distance crown.
St Mark’s Basilica put up a hugely impressive display to beat top-class older horses Addeybb and Mishriff.
