It's probably a little naive to think that should other Pletcher entries lose their final preps he'll convince Tabor and Smith to run Rags to Riches in the Derby. I think they're pretty confident in Circular Quay right now and would love to somehow sweep the Oaks/Derby. It would be a longshot, but anything is possible.
So, I'd say don't plan on Scat Daddy's and CQ's and Any Given Saturday's performances having too much effect on a change of plans with Rags to Riches. The first two, like Cajungator said, are in the field already, meaning they're there on May 5, barring injury.
