Re: Horse Racing
Total Eclipse for classy Kazeem.

Quote:
Al Kazeem landed his third consecutive Group One contest when he won the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown Park.
Sent off the 15-8 favourite after winning the Tattersalls Gold Cup and the Prince Of Wales's Stakes, the Roger Charlton-trained five-year-old was settled in third for most of the way as Mukhadram led the way, just as he had done when they met at Royal Ascot.
Al Kazeem looked to have the front-runner's measure when brought up to challenge in the final quarter-mile by James Doyle and though he did Mukhadram no favours as he went past, he then raced clear to beat Aidan O'Brien's running-on challenger Declaration Of War by two lengths.
