Wisely, a trainer as competent as Pletcher knows that it would be a folly to bring a horse like that back, in a 3-turn, 11 furlong turf race. The fractions in the GP BC Turf last year went in 26 and change and 51 2/5ths. An agressive horse, like EC, who sometimes pulls hard in the early stages of his races, would not settle well at all in a race like that. Especially fresh and off the layoff I'm sure EC could have beaten that field, even after being strangled for a few furlongs, but that is just a tremendously silly spot to bring a horse like him back in.
