Albaquirky seemed like one of the better choices in the Manhattan, and the deep closer was going to make the most of this opportunity to run on a dry track. He had done quite well when it was wet, but now it was time to make a statement that he can handle any kind of weather.

The Manhattan Heads North This Weekend
Manhattan is being moved upstate this weekend, as the 21st edition of this Grade 1 turf stake is held at SAR as a part of the BEL racing festival. This means a slight change in the distance, as it will lose one-sixteenth of a mile from it’s traditional length. We can deal with that, and will enjoy the purse increase back to $1,000.000.
