Jamie Osborne's Toast of New York carried British hopes but he never featured, finishing down the field.
"It's just a very emotional time," said Gun Runner's trainer Steve Asmussen. "For him to come through like he did today, overcome the draw, I'm so proud of him.
"He's a dream come true. He's just a special individual. This memory will be with us forever."
