2020 Coral Eclipse Stakes Trends and Free Tips

Run over 1m2f at Sandown Park racecourse in early July the Coral-Eclipse Stakes is open to horses aged 3 or older and with 14 of the last 18 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 2 of the last 11 Epsom Derby winners from that season go onto land the Coral-Eclipse, while favourites have a decent record – winning 9 of the last 18 and being placed in 13 of the last 17.

Here at RACING AHEAD we look back at recent winners and highlights the key stats to be looking out for ahead of the 2020 renewal – this year run on Sunday 5th July.
