He could most likely be competitive in the Clark, and he is not going to want to face Discreet Cat in the Mile off of the layoff. Discreet Cat would chew him up and spit him out. Todd Pletcher is great about spotting his horses, and I seriously doubt that he would want to run FA against that monster in the Mile.

It's possible but I think their goal has always been the BC Classic. I think that if they can get him relatively healthy then he will run in the Classic. If he's not healthy enough to run in there then I don't think they will run him anywhere. I think they will retire him.
