Yes ... it was a weaker-than-average BC Sprint field ... but you write as if Silver Train were the only horse who defeated Lost In The Fog that day ... which is far from the case.
And you're not allowing for any improvement on Silver Train's part ... he was clearly much better at the end of last year than at the beginning ... and has demonstrated that he's even better this year ... at least at Belmont Park ... than he was last year.
Lost In The Fog seems to have been an early maturer ... who did not improve beyond the summer of his 3YO year. He was much-the-best 3YO sprinter through August ... but that's about all you can conclusively say about him.
His record subsequent to that ... speaks for itself.
