Still I agree that Garcia should have the freedom to do what he wants. If he wants the riding title, he should be freed of his commitment

It is that important for him and his agent. The Funny Cide race is at the completely opposite end of the spectrum. Two totally different times, motivations, connections, and more.
As far as the freedom aspect, that's not the way the business works. His agent gave the connections the call. Bottom line, they are getting spun. It happens everyday. Today it just happened to the connections who are playing hardball and it happened to Garcia and his agent on a bad day.
