Rakti heads Eclipse field

Rakti will face 12 rivals in the Coral-Eclipse Stakes on Saturday as he bids to move one step closer to landing the British Horseracing Board’s Summer Triple Crown.

Connections of the Michael Jarvis-trained five-year-old will pocket a £1m (€1.5m) bonus if he adds both the Sandown race and the Juddmonte International to his success in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes.
