The 2008 Manhattan was not good. The winner, Dancing Forever, was a G2 winner who went winless through the rest of his career. Out of Control finished 2nd, and he entered the race off of consecutive out of the money finishes in G1 races in CA and KY. He went winless through the rest of his career. The 3rd place finisher, Pays to Dream, entered off a win in the G2 Dixie at Pimlico and never raced again after being injured in the race.
Better Talk Now was the lone Grade I winner in the field coming in, and he was returning from a trip to Dubai and was already long in the tooth. His rabbit, Shake the Bank, lost the race by just over four lengths.
There were as many subsequent $3,200 claimers (Stream of Gold) in the field as there were subsequent GI winners (Interpatation!).
