Description
Eclipse is the story of a remarkable horse and his owner, an adventurer with a troubled past. In 1769, Eclipse's incredible racing career began at Epsom Downs, where he left all his rivals in his dust. As the years went by, Eclipse became the undisputed champion of his sport, with a legacy that would be felt for generations to come. But Eclipse's life was not just about racing - it was also about the man who owned him, Dennis O'Kelly. A rogue and a gambler, O'Kelly had made his fortune through unconventional means, and his association with one of London's most notorious brothels added to his reputation as an outsider. Despite this, Eclipse remained O'Kelly's loyal companion, and their partnership would become the stuff of legend. The story of Eclipse is one of incredible achievement and enduring legacy, set against a backdrop of 18th-century England's social and cultural landscape.
