The Breeder's Cup was a key race with 5 next out winners and 4 Derby horses. The horse who trounced them all was beaten by American Pharoah who also beat another pretty good horse in the Frontrunner-Sham winner Calculator.
Maybe nobody showed up in Arkansas to face AP because they didn't want to go into a race they had no chance of winning. Or they just didn't want to run on 3 weeks rest, which isn't nearly the problem everyone makes it out to be since in the last 10 years horses on 3 weeks rest or less have the following top 4 finishes: 2 wins, 3 2nds, 3 3rds and 3 4ths.
