2006 Manhattan Handicap

Описание: Juddmonte Farms' homebred Cacique, who just missed by a half-length in his last start in the Woodford Reserve Turf Classic (gr. IT), held off a hard-charging Relaxed Gesture to earn a head-bobbing nose victory in the $400,000 Manhattan Handicap (gr. IT) Saturday at Belmont Park.

Favored at 2-1, Cacique, who carried 120 pounds with Edgar Prado aboard, got the 10 furlongs over the yielding going in 2:04.10. The winning margin was a head. Grey Swallow ran third, another neck behind.
Prado said he could feel Cacique getting weary in the final yards.

"I had to bounce him around a little, but once he did, he had another gear," Prado said. "He didn't see (Relaxed Gesture) way outside."
