Two of those three defeats came in sprint races .. and the other one was off a layoff.
While he was unpressured on the lead in the BC Classic - he still won the race and did so with a 120 Beyer figure for his 6th straight win... all at the Graded Stakes level.
Look at Mineshaft before he got lasix ... he wasn't very much either.

I don't know what BTA received in the Husker or Met Mile, but his BSF for his other wins were Iselin-112, Wash Park-117, and Foster-104.
In Exces's BSF for some of his major wins were Suburban-120, Woodward-116, Met Mile-117, Whitney-116.
In Excess lost the championship when Jackson picked the wrong BC race. If he had entered the Classic, most likely he would have hounded BTA into defeat and then gotten picked off by one of the deep closers.
