Its not like hes beaten Cacique by a lot, and Relaxed Gesture beat him in the Manhattan, even with a very questionable ride.
If English Channel comes here, he is a lock single along with Showing Up. He wouldn't shorten him up unless he was doing really really well and was a lock. The race is soft as is, and maybe Pletcher is like "Grade 1 is a grade 1"
