When is the Eclipse 2024? Sandown date, start time, runners and betting

Can City Of Troy follow up his Epsom triumph?

The Eclipse at Sandown Park takes pride of place on the calendar as the first proper ding-dong battle between the generations.

The 10-furlong contest is well established, dating back to 1886, and boasts a roll of honour littered with some of the greatest to have graced the game including Brigadier Gerard and Sea The Stars.

Aidan O’Brien’s stable star City Of Troy is bidding to emulate the latter by completing the Derby-Eclipse double and confirm his status as the most exciting horse in training.
