Horse Racing - Eclipse Stakes

One of the most prestigious races in the British flat calendar is staged in early July over one-and-a-quarter miles (2,000 metres) at Sandown Park in Esher, an outer suburb of London. 
The event is named after one of the finest racehorses of the 18th century and was inaugurated in 1886. The race was not staged during the 20th century World Wars and in 2020 three-year-old horses were excluded from entering due to the Covid-19 pandemic altering the structure of the first half of the flat racing season.
