I'm pretty sure Pletcher told him and JV to look for other mounts because he wasn't sure what he wanted them to do and didn't want them to be without mounts if he decided against running. Gomez was offered the mount on Rags first but Porter wouldn't let him off Hard Spun. Slew's Tizzy's connections were more understanding so JV was able to get on Rags. Pletcher told Gomez's agent that if Rags won, Johnny would keep her so that's what's happening . . . Makes sense. . .
