Run over 1m2f at Sandown Park racecourse in early July the Coral-Eclipse Stakes is open to horses aged 3 or older and with 19 of the last 23 winners having already landed a Group One contest in their careers then it often attracts some of the best horses from around the world.
In recent years, we’ve seen three of the last 16 Epsom Derby winners from that season go onto land the Coral-Eclipse, while favourites have a decent record – winning 12 of the last 23 and being placed in 18 of the last 23.
Here at GEEGEEZ we look back at recent winners and highlights the key stats to be looking out for ahead of the 2025 renewal - this year run on Saturday 5th July.
