What is the Eclipse Stakes?
The Eclipse Stakes is a Group 1 over about a mile and a quarter at Sandown in early July, the first major middle-distance clash between the Classic generation and older horses.
Who has won the Eclipse Stakes?
The roll of honour lists every Eclipse Stakes winner since 1990 with SP, age, weight, trainer, jockey and owner. Winners on the list include Sea The Stars, Enable, Giant's Causeway, Golden Horn and City Of Troy.
What do the Eclipse Stakes trends show?
26 of the 36 Eclipse Stakes winners since 1991 had run in Britain or Ireland within the previous 30 days, the most common gap, and 27 of the 36 had finished in the first three on their previous run. The trends table also splits runners by official rating, level and course of the last run, and weight carried, with winners, runners and win % for each group.
Which trainers and jockeys do best in the Eclipse Stakes?
Aidan O'Brien leads the Eclipse Stakes trainers with 10 wins and Ryan Moore leads the riders with 6. Both tables show runners, strike rate and the year of each name's last win.
When is the next Eclipse Stakes?
The next Eclipse Stakes is due in early July at Sandown; the banner at the top of this page shows the expected date and, once made, the entries. The roll of honour adds the result the evening it is run.

Which jockey has ridden the most Eclipse Stakes winners?
Ryan Moore heads the Eclipse Stakes jockeys' table, sorted by wins, with 6 winning rides since 1990. Results before 1990 are outside the RaceWatch results database, so the jockeys table covers the modern era only.
How do favourites do in the Eclipse Stakes?
Favourites have won 14 of 37 runnings since 1990, a strike rate of 37.8%. A £1 level stake on every favourite at SP shows -7.2 points, and the favourites table lists each one year by year.
What is the biggest-priced Eclipse Stakes winner?
Environment Friend (GB) is the longest-priced winner since 1990, returned at 28/1. The starting price band table shows how many winners came from each price range, with profit or loss at SP.
When is the next Eclipse Stakes?
The next Eclipse Stakes is due in early July at Sandown, and the banner at the top of this page shows the expected date. Once the race is run, the winner joins the roll of honour and every table on the page updates.
