Manhattan Handicap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In its 106th revivial in 2006, the Manhattan Handicap is a race for thoroughbred horses run for a purse of $400,000 at one and a quarter miles on the turf. The race is run during Belmont Park's Spring Meet for horses of either gender three years old or older.
The great Round Table won this race in 1959, Stymie in 1946, and Devil Diver in 1944. A few horses won it twice: Dark Secret in 1933 and 1934, Little Chief in 1922 and 1923, Naturalist in 1918 and 1920, The Finn in 1915 and 1916, Roseben in 1905 and 1906, and Firearm in 1899 and 1900. But Bolingbroke won it three times: 1940, 1941, and 1943.
