NEW YORK - Quotes from owners, trainers and jockeys of the nine 3-year-olds who ran in Saturday's 133rd Belmont Stakes (in order of finish):

Point Given: "Just like winning the world." - owner Prince Ahmed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia

A P Valentine: "I tried to follow Point Given, with a half-mile to go I knew I couldn't beat the other horse. I rode him hard for second." - jockey Victor Espinoza

Monarchos: "He ran hard today but he didn't run the race he ran in the Derby." - jockey Jorge Chavez

Dollar Bill: "No excuse. He just didn't have it. At least, we didn't encounter any traffic problems." - jockey Pat Day

Invisible Ink: "I thought we had a perfect trip. He just kept making one steady run, staying with the rest of the pack. The winner was much the best." - jockey John Velazquez

Thunder Blitz: "Jerry (Bailey) thought that he should have put him in the race earlier. He didn't do that, and it kind of discouraged him." - trainer Joe Orseno

Buckle Down Ben: "He ran well until the running started." - trainer D. Wayne Lukas

Balto Star: "He just wasn't himself today. He might not handle hot weather real well. - trainer Todd Pletcher

Dr Greenfield: "We are very disappointed. That was not the true Dr Greenfield on the track today. I don't know why he acted up at the starting gate like that. I never saw that in him before. From there, he just lost interest." - trainer Gerard Butler
