I just don't think that the value outweighs the potential pratfalls. As I said there is no easy way to do this despite your assertion that it would be easy. It won't because it isnt cut and dry like an equipment change. What if the trainer forget to tell the jockey in the paddock? Or he isn't there and the assistant forgets? Or the rider who doesn't speak English as a first language gets confused? These things happen all the time and no one realizes it. The Stewards will be loathe to start policing rider instruction's and that is really what it is.
