2025 RACEDAY PREVIEW
It’s Coral Eclipse Day which can only mean one thing. All roads lead to Sandown park on Saturday 5 July for one of the biggest races on the UK Flat racing calendar.
They’re under starters order at Sandown Park on Saturday 5 July for Coral Eclipse Day with seven quality races on the card including the feature race, the Group 1 Coral Eclipse. Raced over 1 and a quarter miles (10 furlongs) this prestigious race provides the first major summer opportunity for the stars from the younger generation of 3-year-old horses to race against their 4-year-old counterparts. Prize money for the 2025 Eclipse is a record £1 million, making it the most valuable race ever staged at Sandown.
PREVIOUS CORAL ECLIPSE RACES
Some of the finest horses of the last generation have won the Eclipse including the legendary Dancing Brave in 1986, Epsom Derby winner Golden Horn in 2015 and Sea The Stars – regarded by many as one of the greatest racehorses of all time – who triumphed in 2009. In 2020 Ghaiyyath, with jockey William Buick on board for trainer Charlie Appleby, who took the spoils defeating 2019 winner Enable.
Epsom Derby winner City of Troy– ridden by Ryan Moore – won the big race in 2024. Aidan O’Brien’s star colt became the first horse since Golden Horn in 2015 to complete the Derby and Coral Eclipse double.
In 2023, Paddington took the spoils in a dramatic finish. Trained by Aidan O’Brien and ridden by Ryan Moore the 3-year-old saw off star filly Emily Upjohn in the last few strides of the race (watch the race below). That followed another thriller in the 2022 edition of the Eclipse. On that occasion Vadeni took the spoils. Ridden by Christophe Soumillon, the French Derby winner repelled Mishriff by just a neck with Native Trail a head further back in third.
Get your tickets now to enjoy a superb day of summer Flat racing at Sandown! As well as the prestigious Group 1 Coral-Eclipse, the Group 3 Coral Charge and two listed races feature on this afternoon’s card. And the entertainment continues after racing with music in the parade ring courtesy of a live DJ set.
