But none of them ran in the Cal Cup as their last race before the BC. Probably because in many previous years, the Cal Cup was the week before or the week after the BC. (Remember how Baffert wheeled Officer back one week after his BC Juvenile loss to run second in the Cal Cup Juvenile?)

Best Pal (10th BC Classic '93), Nationalore (3rd Juvenile '97), and Flying Sensation (4th Juvenile '93) definitely did. I'm sure there's more.
