Domestic Spending Gives Chad Brown Record Seventh Manhattan Sponsored by:
Flavien Prat and Domestic Spending are well clear at the wire in the Manhattan
Back in 1926, the legendary songwriting team of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart wrote that “we ll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy.” That song, “Manhattan,” penned for the Broadway musical “Garrick Gaities,” was a big hit around the time a Thoroughbred trainer named James Rowe Sr. was recording the last of his six victories in the Manhattan Stakes, a race inaugurated in 1867 at defunct Jerome Park.
Fast forward nearly a century to 2021, when another Thoroughbred trainer, Chad Brown, was turning the Manhattan Stakes into a personal isle of joy, winning the119th running of the Grade 1, $750,000 turf fixture over a mile and a quarter for the seventh time – all in the last 10 years. It took Rowe 45 years to collect his six Manhattan wins.
The Aspen Music Festival and School and Theatre Aspen will present a two-night concert event celebrating the music of Richard Rodgers on Aug. 3 and 4 at the Benedict Music Tent.
