I don't what was going on behind the scenes really, but Rags is technically Gomez's mount. Johnny's never been on her, if I remember correctly.

If Pletcher only has one horse in a race on one of JV's home tracks, is there agreement for JV to always have first call? I realize Gomez made a firm commitment to Hard Spun, but you would think Pletcher would have let Garrett know that he was strongly considering her before he committed to Spun.
