Better watch the replay again. Ground saving trip, never lost momentum when the 1 horse (Warning Zone) was backing up, cut the corner home ala Street Sense, finished well - just wasn't good enough. From the 1/4 pole to the finish, following the same path, he made up 1 length on Medici Code - not enough to catch him - let alone the winner.
