David Ord with his favourite Coral-Eclipse memories


In 2019 David Ord picked out his favourite Coral-Eclipse memories. Now he looks at what has changed since.

Evergreen content.

That's the Holy Grail kids. Features that don't date - that can be wheeled out when the indexes begin to blank down after a major meeting or three.

So in 2019 I wrote about my seven favourite Coral-Eclipses.

And it's somewhere below here. I've not changed it. If Ben Linfoot refuses to concede that any Arc in living memory can break into his 30 favourite renewals of the Longchamp - sorry ParisLongchamp feature - why would I bother either?

But plenty has changed since 2019.

Thankfully my profile picture is among them. The photographer who decided the best angle to shoot a portly, middle-aged, bearded man, from is below and the side has been replaced. By a kinder soul with Photoshop.

And Aidan O'Brien was about to revive his love-affair with the Coral-Eclipse.
