I'd go along with that and the other poster who said that the horse (who clearly has issues) hadn't really had a break since last summer.
But to say that the Oaklawn is insignificant merely because its a Grade 2 is as preposterous as it gets. Pletcher won the race (while it was a Grade 2) with Lawyer Ron, who later went on a tear and ultimately won the Eclipse as champion handicap horse the same season.
Coincidentally, Pletcher had no problem running Lawyer Ron in the Met Mile in his next start following his Oaklawn win (IIRC he was 3rd to Corinthian).
