Telegraph review of recently published Eclipse biography by Nicholas Clee makes the work sound as though it's a bit of modern Trollope, centered around a great horse, who was, even towards the end of his life, hard used: "In the end, even the mighty Eclipse became what can only be described as shagged out, and in the declining months of his 24-year-life was conveyed from mare to mare in what was almost certainly the first ever horsebox."
