We hold the total fund for the Manhattan Stakes and no separate winner's cheque. What the winner takes is a rule the racecourse sets rather than a national one, and it varies race by race.

Run in 1:50.50 in 2026, the Manhattan Stakes pays $9,050 for every second of the race, which is 81st of the 611 races in horse racing prize money per second and 41st in the United States.

What the Manhattan Stakes has paid, season by season

The winner's prize, 1869 to 2026

144 runnings

The winner's prize went from $500 in 1869 to $550,000 in 2026, 1100.0 times more. Every year is converted at today's rate, so the line is the money the race puts up rather than the money the exchange rate did.

Who wins the Manhattan Stakes more than once

The fact the table above holds and cannot show

Bolingbroke has won it 3 times, which is more than any other horse. 10 horses have won it more than once across 160 runnings.
