I'm probably in the minority here, but he ran a great race in defeat. Frosted pressed him from the backstretch up until he had nothing left and they ran the mile was in 1:35. Saratoga is a track that punishes runners for going that fast, it happened to Liam's Map a few weeks earlier. The damage was done. Travers to Classic seems to be the likely outcome of this frenzy. That's not really going out on a limb though.
Keen Ice is a good runner and will probably continue to mature. His finish kind of reminded of the 2007 JCGC that his sire ran. He also won picking up more weight than the odds-on chalk.
Frosted may be better suited for middle distance races from what I've seen in his two efforts at the spa.
