The 6 finished 2nd, and was placed third. At least that was shown on the screen after the photo. (as well as on equibase:

Vic, as mentioned many times I respect you greatly you as race caller. But I have lost all respect for stewards. Today was the final drop, after seeing two juicy exactas go down the drain at Belmont and Santa Anita. They're welcome to earn the respect back. How hard could it truly be to have consistent rules consistently applied?! How much work would that truly take? A lot less than the work good handicappers put in, I would be willing to bet.
