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.

I stand corrected. I guess it was more of just a feeling that many of the top ones from each class are going down more often than they used to. Even from the Derby starters from last year, with 18 of 19 coming back this year, that doesn't talk about the fact that a few of them missed the second half of the year, including the the top three from the race.
