1. What is The Eclipse File?

The Eclipse File comprises a unique database that helps to provide an invaluable analysis and a fascinating insight into any day's racing. Combining facts, figures, expert comment and analysis, with our unique and totally exclusive tools, it provides Jockeys Owners and Trainers alike with information much of which has never before been made available to the general public.  The Eclipse File does not rely merely on form or time but is a unique LIVE AND INTERACTIVE resource, combining the greater benefits of being based at Newmarket, the headquarters of British Racing and the expertise of our racereaders gained from years of experience in the racing business. They analyse details of a horse's paddock appearance, fitness, ground preferences and perhaps most important of all, the busy'ness' of every horse in every race. Processed by our highly informed office staff at Newmarket, support is only a click of a mouse away during office hours. The Eclipse File combines exclusive gallop reports, notebook entries, market moves and stables in and out of form and is one of the most innovative racing products in the marketplace today.

2. What are The Significant Entries? TOP

This section highlights horses that trainers or owners have seen fit to enter into the most prestigious and high class races of the season. Significant Entries are made for horses, in stages, the initial entry may be quite some time in advance of the race and is followed by further stages, called forfeits, each subsequent forfeit costing more. Armed with this information it is possible to gauge the perceived quality of the individual. Whilst this information is available in many publications prior to the actual Big Race, The Eclipse File system highlights horses that have held Significant Entries after the actual race is run. This is of particular consequence as unexposed or unraced horses can be identified as having been considered useful earlier on in the season.

3. What are Notebook Horses? TOP

Our team of race readers provide highly informed comment on horses not fit, unlucky in running, running over the wrong trip or on adverse going that would be of particular interest for future engagements. Our team attend meetings every day and make notebook entries on the evidence of what they have seen with their own eyes. We do not rely on the opinion of others, but on the expert and experienced team of race readers within our employ.  

4. Where does the gallops information come from? TOP
H. Cecil's on the way home.

The Exclusive NEWMARKET GALLOPS contain reports of work that has been witnessed at racing's headquarters by our work watchers. Additional information is provided by experienced work riders, who are employed by the top stables in the town, and feature details of horses working particularly well, along with the news of their galloping companions.

What's this one called??? See our gallops.

It is worth noting groups of horses working together in which one of the group have subsequently put up an excellent racecourse performance, as this is clearly a most encouraging sign for the rest of the group.
