A chestnut with a white blaze is scorching across the turf towards the
finishing post. His four rivals are so far behind him that, in racing
terms, they are "nowhere." Watching Eclipse is the man who wants to buy
him. An adventurer and rogue who has made his money through gambling,
Dennis O'Kelly is also companion to the madam of a notorious London
brothel.
While O'Kelly is destined to remain an outcast to the
racing establishment, his horse will go on to become the undisputed,
undefeated champion of his sport. Eclipse's male-line descendants
include Secretariat, Barbaro, and all but three of the Kentucky Derby
winners of the past fifty years.
