High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! American Eclipse (1814 to 1847) was a light chestnut Thoroughbred race horse named for the great English champion Eclipse. The original Eclipse (1764 to 1789) was named for the total eclipse of the sun that occurred as he was being born, and was so outstanding that for years people named their horses Eclipse this and Eclipse that in the vain hope they had another Eclipse, about whom it was said: "Eclipse first—the rest nowhere." American Eclipse was the one horse worthy of the name. By Duroc (by the founding stallion Diomed), out of Miller's Damsel (known when she raced as the "Queen of the Northern Turf," Miller's Damsel was also sired by one of America's four founding stallions: Messenger), American Eclipse was bred on Long Island, New York by General Nathaniel Coles. Interestingly enough, Miller’s Damsel’s dam was Pot8os Mare by Pot8os by the original Eclipse himself.
