History of race
The
event is named after Eclipse, a celebrated 18th-century racehorse. It was
established in 1886, and its inaugural prize fund was £10,000. This was donated
by Leopold de Rothschild at the request of General Owen Williams, a co-founder
of Sandown Park. At that time it was Britain`s richest ever race (the same
year`s Derby Stakes was worth £4,600). From its launch, the Eclipse Stakes
attracted high-quality fields. The first three finishers in 1903 — Ard Patrick,
Sceptre and Rock Sand — had won seven Classics between them.
The race
has been sponsored by the bookmaker Coral since 1976, and it is now familiarly
known as the "Coral-Eclipse". It has continued to feature Classic winners, and
the most recent of these to achieve victory was Sea the Stars (the 2,000 Guineas
and Derby winner) in 2009.
Leading jockeys: Lester Piggott – Mystery IX (1951), Darius (1955),
Arctic Explorer (1957), St. Paddy (1961), Pieces of Eight (1966), Wolver Hollow
(1969), Artaius (1977)
Leading trainer: Alec Taylor, Jr. – Bayardo (1909), Lemberg (1910,
dead-heat), Buchan (1919, 1920), Craig an Eran (1921), Saltash (1923)
Leading owners: 17th Earl of Derby – Swynford (1911), Colorado (1927),
Fairway (1928), Caerleon (1931), Gulf Stream (1946)
Waldorf Astor, 2nd Viscount Astor – Buchan (1919, 1920), Craig an Eran (1921),
Saltash (1923), Rhodes Scholar (1936)
