I really don't think Hard Spun is the type of horse who will be impacted much, either positively or negatively, by any rider change.
As I'm sure CJ will be reminding us---he's been consistantly running a fast early/slow late race shape on his figures for quite a while---and unless he gets loose on an uncontested early lead and is able to relax in the process...that trend sure won't bode well for him in the Belmont Stakes.
