Coral Eclipse Meeting
Sandown Park
5 July 2008

The Coral-Eclipse is one of the most coveted prizes in the British Flat racing season and the showpiece Flat racing event of the year at Sandown, where first-class facilities, a wonderful atmosphere and great sport combine to produce a truly memorable day out.

The 10-furlong Coral-Eclipse is the first top-level contest over middle distances for three-year-olds against their seniors and usually brings together an intriguing mix of milers, specialist 10-furlong horses and confirmed stayers.

The clash of styles is one of the Eclipse’s most appealing facets – who can forget Dancing Brave proving himself a champion after his Derby defeat in 1986, or dual winner Mtoto out pointing Derby hero Reference Point the following year, or Mill Reef (1971) and Nashwan (1989) dropping back in trip to add to their Derby victories?

Coral Eclipse day is a great social occasion, and many racegoers enjoy dressing-up!
