Andre Fabre superstar and Arc favourite on course to add to blockbuster Coral-Eclipse line-up
Arc favourite and three-time Group 1 winner Sosie is on course to become Andre Fabre's first runner in the £1 million Coral-Eclipse in 20 years, with the 32-time champion trainer acknowledging the task for his stable star will be "quite tough" on his first run outside France.
Sosie established himself as the leading French-trained colt of his generation over a mile and a half last season when winning the Grand Prix de Paris and Prix Niel, and has shown his versatility as well as his class in adding further Group 1 successes this term in the Prix Ganay at 1m2½f and the Prix d'Ipsahan at 1m1f.
Sponsors Coral have only the impressive Prince of Wales's Stakes winner Ombudsman shorter in the Eclipse betting at 6-4, with Sosie a 3-1 chance and the likely Ballydoyle contingent of Camille Pissarro and Delacroix next in at 5-1 and 8-1 respectively.
