Coral Eclipse Stakes Betting Odds
The Coral Eclipse is a premier race run at Sandown over 1m2f at the beginning of July every year. It is the first all-age Group 1 of the British flat season, and looks set to be a humdinger in 2025 with a potentially exciting clash of generations combining for a midsummer treat.
Here is how they bet for the 2025 edition of the Coral Eclipse as things stand:
Odds table to follow
Who are this year’s Coral Eclipse Favourites?
The Coral Eclipse betting is currently headed by both three-year-olds potentially about to reach the peak of their powers, and some older horses already demonstrating their natural ability. The Eclipse is always a brilliant clash of generations and the 2025 renewal looks set to be no different.
Who are this year’s Eclipse Underdogs?
Those at the head of the betting will be difficult favourites to overcome, but there are also some Eclipse underdogs who are burning under the radar. Those who like to back horses each-way will know there are some value prices about some talented Coral Eclipse underdogs ahead of the race.
Last Year’s Coral Eclipse Odds
The Coral Eclipse was won by star three-year-old City Of Troy in 2024, who went off at the prohibitive odds of 1/4.
Betting Strategies for the Coral Eclipse
You can bet on the Eclipse Stakes in numerous ways, to ensure that whatever the line-up in the race, you can have a fun wager on an outcome.
Outright Winner
Ultimately, however many runners take part in a renewal of the Coral Eclipse, you will always be able to back a horse in the outright winner market. The 1/4 for City Of Troy may not have seemed like great value a year ago, but in a small field, it can still be the best way of returning a profit.
Each Way
If there are five or more runners in the 2025 Eclipse, then you can look to find an each-way play. These are traditionally horses trading at 5/1 or bigger, as you return in profit if they finish in the places. There have been 8/1 and 14/1 winners within the last decade too.
Draw Biases
Over this trip there is rarely too much of a bias in terms of the draw at Sandown. Especially given the field size is often small, runners drawn wider have little difficulty in making the switch across, while the straight is long enough for a horse ridden under any tactics to close on the leader.
Coral Eclipse Odds of Past 10 Winners
Favourite backers would have found the winner of five of the last ten Eclipses, although they would still have made a loss overall with three of those five having gone off at odds-on.
