no reason really... it's just horse racing. it's unpredictible and varies a lot every year. Sometimes you get a horse that's good enough for the Derby and sometimes you don't. A couple years ago, Zito had like 5 horses in the field. This year Pletcher has 5 horses in the field. Sometimes you're lucky enough to have a big group of really talented horses and sometimes you're just not that lucky.
I 've been wondering the same thing, and asked the same question. This is very strange to me. I remember in years' past Lukas just could not stand to not have one in the Derby, and entered anything from the barn. I guess times are changing.
I am very glad too see that Baffert doesn't have a start. He loves the media circus around him.

Losing streak maybe. None of these guys have had any success at the derby in the fast few years.
