No trainer had won Sandown's G1 Coral-Eclipse four years in a row before Saturday, but Aidan O'Brien's Team Ballydoyle did what they do and put another statistic to bed with their exciting talent Constitution River (Wootton Bassett).In a finish which almost mimicked that of the Prix du Jockey Club, the 8-11 favourite was in command by three lengths from A Boy Named Susie (Starspangledbanner), with Donnacha's colt reversing the Chantilly Classic form with Hawk Mountain (Wootton Bassett) by a neck as the three-year-olds and the O'Briens dominated.“We've always thought the world of him–he's a special horse,” O'Brien said after greeting his 10th Eclipse winner, with five coming in the last six years. “Ryan's just said he's not sure he's ever ridden a better horse.”“He's maturing, he's a big scopey proper physical and we felt we hadn't seen the bottom of him–he's classy, pacey and is heavier today than ever. He has that sharpness of mind, he's not a slob and in no way backward-thinking.”This was plain sailing for Ryan Moore, who made his race-winning move heading to the two pole and looked to be only cajoling the winner from there to maintain focus. It was a sixth renewal for the rider, who is just one short of the legendary Lester Piggott's record.“We went hard early and it was always the plan to get him into his rhythm,” Moore said. “The horses in front came back to him quickly, he got there too early but you can't be waiting up the hill here. It's hard to know where he'll end up, but he's got an awful lot of ability.”“This horse has a deep pedigree, has done nothing wrong in his whole career and we're learning all the time,” he added. “I know how good Hawk Mountain is.” Goodness gracious me …. so good in the Coral Eclipse at SandownA 10th win of the great race for Aidan O'Brien pic.twitter.com/yxT3Fp3n3b— Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 4, 2026 The post Constitution River Gives O’Brien Historic 4th Consecutive Eclipse appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
