Eclipse was a famed racehorse in the 18th century. He was undefeated in all his races, giving rise to the saying, "Eclipse first, the rest nowhere."
In 2296, while being held by Romulan soldiers on planet Obsidian, Leonard McCoy spoke at length about the sport of horse racing in order to forestall his execution. Eclipse was one of the horses he mentioned. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Forge)
