I totally agree. No matter how you slice it, both these 3yos have to do another thing they've never done before and that's rate. The 1 1/4 is heavy enough lifting as it is, how many things are you going to keep changing?
I can't wait to see full DRF PPs for all these guys.

From DRF.com today....
At Belmont Park, a good-feeling Alpha reared up and unseated his exercise rider, Ricardo Ponce, coming off the training track after a 1 3/8-mile gallop. His groom had the reins, so Alpha did not get loose. Alpha remains on schedule to breeze at Belmont Park on Saturday. His connections, owner Godolphin Racing and trainer Kiaran McLaughlin, have not firmed up a rider and will likely wait until after the weekend to do so. One rider no longer under consideration is Eddie Castro, who has committed to ride Winter Memories in the Grade 3, $150,000 Beaugay at Belmont on Derby Day
