	Eclipse Quotations - Part III
		The solar eclipse occurred on 17 June 1433, and the lunar eclipse on 3 July 1433.

		Anxious to know the different eclipses of the sun and of the moon, to learn of their secret causes, your first concern will be to acquire a perfect knowledge of the celestial region; you will study the position of the stars and their movements.

		Although favouring a tilt at the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood on August 5, connections of Ouija Board would not be adverse to paying the sum for the prestigious race at Ascot.
		The popular mare failed to build on her brilliant win the Princes of Wales Stakes at Royal Ascot when meeting continual trouble in running at Sandown in the Group 1 Eclipse Stakes.
		The cons are that in the Eclipse she undoubtedly got knocked about by the big colts, which would be a positive for the Nassau as she could race against her own sex," he told the Racing Post.

	Coral Eclipse Stakes, Horse Racing, Motivator, Sandown, 3.15, SP
		After destroying an impressive field in the St James' Palace Stakes at York, which was the highlight of the meeting, and this came in addition to winning the French Derby at Chantilly.
		His main rival is of course, Motivator, who is dropping down in distance from 12 to 10 furlongs, will be reeling him in the closing stages.
		If we look down the field at the older horses, it's difficult to get excited about their chances, having to concede 11lb to the three-year-olds, who have an excellent record in the race, and so the tip has to be Motivator today.

	DRF: Ouija Board, David Junior rematched - Horse Racing - MSNBC.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Ouija Board is the 5-4 favorite for Saturday's $786,000 Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park where the appearance of Kieren Fallon, booked to ride Aussie Rules in the Group 1, 1 1/4-mile race, depends upon the outcome of his Friday hearing before Britain's Horseracing Regulatory Authority.
		New rider Olivier Peslier suited her to a tee at Royal Ascot, where she defeated Electrocutionist, but she will have to do without the Frenchman's services at Sandown as he is engaged to ride for the Wertheimer brothers at Deauville on Saturday.
		The winner of both the Champion Stakes and the Dubai Duty Free, the Brian Meehan-trained David Junior was only a one-paced fourth behind Ouija Board in the Prince of Wales's off a three-month layoff, but should be much better off for that effort with regular rider Jamie Spencer on board.

	Coral-Eclipse Stakes (1m2f), 15.15 Sandown
		Rakti is a red hot favourite for this race after his impressive win in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes (Powerscourt and Ikhtyar behind), a performance all the more remarkable considering his interrupted preparation and lacklustre form on the gallops.
		He will take all the beating if in the same form, but there must be a concern that the Ascot race on very fast ground may have left its mark, especially considering that all his best form has come after a long break.
		The form of recent Prince of Wales’s winners in the race is not great either - no horse has won both races since Mtoto in 1987 - while the record of Eclipse favourites is even less impressive.

		Ouija Board quickened up nicely and kept on well in the closing stages to beat Electrocutionist by half a length in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, despite the conjecture that she would not be as effective dropped back to ten furlongs.
		Indeed, the Ed Dunlop-trained mare demonstrated the requisite speed to cope with the drop in trip, having finished second to Shirocco in the Coronation Stakes over a mile and a half at Epsom previously, and she is worthy of her place in the ante-post market for this race at 2/1.
		The son of Alzao was always travelling well and stayed on well to repel the renewed challenge of stablemate Mountain High to claim the Group 2 prize.

	Telegraph \| Sport \| Salford City to eclipse older rivals

		Naturally, Rakti must be the danger following his Prince of Wales's Stakes win, which has kept him on course for the British Horseracing Board's Summer Triple Crown bonus of £1million for the horse who can take three of the nominated top Group One races.
		At Haydock Park, the Marcus Tregoning-trained Sahool should gain some compensation for her defeat by Punctilious in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot by landing the Lancashire Oaks, with most opposition expected from four-year-old Summitville, who has not won since her juvenile days despite her consistency.
