In fact, a total of 31 horses made appearances in at least 1 of the 2011 Triple Crown races... 27 have run in 2012. Only Archarcharch (KD), Dance City (PS), Flashpoint (PS) and Prime Cut (BS) failed to come back to run in 2012.

definitely an odd year, thankfully. i'm not getting why some of the recent retirees weren't considered for next year. i wonder if next years bc site has something to do with it? the bc is a big goal for many, are they not as interested because of ca being chosen again? might be worth some research to see if west coast bc's have a higher instance of people skipping compared to other sites.
