SARATOGA SPRINGS The quantity hasn’t been there for the Chad Brown barn so far at the 2021 Saratoga Race Course meet, with just two winners in the first five days of the meet.
At least he got some quality on Friday, with a 1-2 finish, respectively, from Technical Analysis and Fluffy Socks in the Grade III Lake George.
The Mechanicville native has won the Saratoga training title for most victories at the meet three times since 2016, but has been off to a slow start, and also had a five-year winning streak in the Grade I Diana stopped last weekend.

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.

Trainer Chad Brown will be loaded for bear in the Grade 1, $750,000 Resorts World Casino Manhattan, with four of the 10 horses entered running under his banner in the 1 1/4-mile inner turf test for 4-year-olds and up on Saturday, Belmont Stakes Day, at Belmont Park.
No stranger to success in the Manhattan, Brown will be looking for his third consecutive win – and seventh overall – in the prestigious race, which will be the final undercard contest as Race 10 before the 153rd running of the Grade 1, $1.5 million Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets in Race 11.
