Regardless of the number of starts, Arky Derby horses haven't posted a lot of new tops in Kentucky. If memory serves, since 2000, it's been Classic Empire, Looking at Lee, Nehro, Eight Belles, and Pharoah something or other, putting in new tops.
Note A) the recency, and B) all hitting the board. It could just be a matter of getting better horses to run in that race, and the fact that any quality horse putting in a new top in the Derby is likely to find it's way into the super.
