The BCJ was always connected to the three race angle...winner of the BCJ was always hard-pressed to get three preps in as the connections usually needed to give the BCJ winner some time off. Then also, a lot of precocious types won the BCJ for awhile...that has changed recently so I suspect we'll see more BCJ winners win the Derby. Should point out that it wasn't just the BCJ however, the last 2yo champ to win the Derby had been The Bid prior to today!
