I also think a likely to be tightened up Churchill track works against him and his foot issues. And to a lesser but still important extent, I'm not nuts about his modest number of lifetime starts.

At what is going to be 2/1 - 5/2, he's a toss for me.
totally agree. he is the easiest toss for me.... i think hes easily 2-1, not higher, way way overbet

To toss him from all your exotics because he's going to be overbet makes no sense. If you don't play him to win, that's fine.
But if you seriously toss both Pyro and Big Brown from all your trifectas and superfectas (assuming you play those wagers), I think your likelihood of cashing a ticket is being seriously diminished.

Should Pletcher decide to run Cowboy Cal, then it will be a toss. Why?
He's a turf/poly horse.
