The Manhattan Stakes is a historic Grade 1 turf race for older horses, contested at 1 1/8 miles. Traditionally associated with Belmont Park, it is typically staged as part of the early June Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, making it one of the key high-class turf events for bettors and handicappers.
The 2026 Manhattan Stakes is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 6th, at Saratoga Race Course due to ongoing renovations at Belmont Park.
Notable winners of the Manhattan Stakes include elite turf horses such as Bricks and Mortar, Domestic Spending (GB), Up to the Mark, and Measured Time. Over the years, the race has served as a reliable proving ground for top older turf runners, with many winners going on to excel in other major Grade 1 grass races later in the season.
