The main track had a ton of problems last fall and I am guessing they are afraid of running him on that track. Wet, freeze, thaw on a track open for three days, that had a big question mark last November.
Thus Pletcher is now stuck as it seems he could find a race next week but doesnt want him going to the Derby on 3 weeks rest. Unless the Big A would write an Allowance race to get him a light tune up?
Most likely its an injury or sickness that we dont know of yet, but maybe its my angle.

If he was worried about the track condition, then why would he take a chance running AGS there (who has a much better chance at winning the derby?)
