Hemingway's Key, who had yet to finish better than 6th this year, was a surprise third place finisher. His trainer Nick Zito said, "I'm very happy because he has such a high energy threshold, you think Belmont maybe, because it's a mile and a half. How do I get to know that if I just run in some race?" Jockey Jeremy Rose added, "My horse ran a great race. It set up all right for him. We got thrown around most of the way. It is hard to celebrate with what happened to Barbaro when he gets vanned off and it does not look good. From my vantage point, he broke down right next to me and I saw Edgar (Prado) pull him up. I thought maybe someone came over him or that he might have checked but it looked bad."
