I wasn't aware that Lukas talked with Lewis about a jock switch between the Preakness and Belmont.. I wonder if someone like Bailey or McCarron would have made a difference..

In "three Strides Before the Wire" Lukas is quoted right after the Belmont as saying he had no issue with the ride. I believe (and I'll check sources) his quote, and I am paraphrasing was "why give up what comes easily and take back 6-7 lengths and have to make them up later".
Also, Chris rode for Lukas after the Belmont. He rode Magicalmysterycat to win the Landaluce in July 1999. He also rode Commendable for Lukas in the San Felipe so I guess all was forgiven?
