The "other" Grade I race on "The
Belmont" card was The 103rd running of The Manhattan Handicap and
as expected it drew a great field including, Mr. O'Brien, winner of The
Dixie on Preakness Day and Claiborne Farm's homebred Stroll, winner of
The Turf Classic on Derby Day at Churchill. Trainer Wallace Dollase
shipped in from the west coast with the Juddmonte Farms bred Meteor
Storm. Meteor Storm came running late and registered a length win while
favorite Stroll faded to sixth.
