I don't know any trainer that would make that change.

Steve Asmussen did with Echo Zulu.
After her race in the Honeybee I suggested right here on this board that her rider would eventually get her beat. He tried to get too cute in the Honeybee and almost got her in trouble. Now, I don’t think she was ever winning the Arkansas Derby but his inability to maintain position and getting beat to two different spots, coupled with the slingshot move prevented her from running 2nd IMO.
She deserves a top rider. Contreras isn’t one. It’s an easy choice.
