Delacroix landed last Saturday’s 2025 Coral-Eclipse with a late burst that saw him collar the favourite Ombudsman by a neck – but four days on and Sandown clerk of the course – Andrew Cooper – has revealed an amazing trend that’s been building up when trying to find the winner of their big Group One race.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Last FIVE Coral-Eclipse Winners Were ALL Housed In Stable Box 102 Before The Race \ud83d\ude32<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fast forward to 2026 and anyone looking to find the winner of the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown could have a fool-proof method.<\/p>\n

Simply head to the stable area pre-race and see which horse has been handed stable box 102.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Well, as revealed this week by Sandown’s clerk of the course Andrew Cooper – ALL of the last five Coral-Eclipse winners warmed up for their victories in box number 102.<\/p>\n

Coral-Eclipse Winners From Stable Box 102 \ud83c\udfc7<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 2025 – Delacroix<\/li>\n
  • 2024 – City Of Troy<\/li>\n
  • 2023 – Paddington<\/li>\n
  • 2022 – Vadeni<\/li>\n
  • 2021 – St Mark’s Basilica<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Yes, Aidan O’Brien’s Delacroix was gifted the magic 102 box prior to his win last Saturday (watch below) and he didn’t let the last four occupants down.<\/p>\n

    Coming with a storming late run to collar the favourite and leader just before the post – Ombudsman – to win by a neck.<\/p>\n

    In the process, Delacroix kept up the amazing run that has now seen ALL of the last five Eclipse winner start their day in stable box 102.<\/p>\n

    With O’Brien also responsible for three others – City Of Troy (2024), Paddington (2023) and St Mark’s Basilica (2021).<\/p>\n

    Maybe Aidan knows something we don’t – or maybe next year Sandown should start charging owners for the key 102 stable box?<\/p>\n

    The French-trained Vadeni is the ‘stable box meat in the sandwich’<\/em> – when winning in 2022 for trainer Jean-Claude Rouget.<\/p>\n

    If only we knew all this at 3pm last Saturday Andrew.<\/p>\n
