With partnerships becoming more increasingly common lately you're starting to see silks rotation more often on big name horses. I know of several situations where the owners just decide to rotate every other race, usually don't think there's much to read into it. This has been going on for a long time, bring up a picture of Timber Country winning the Juvenile & then the Preakness back over 20 years ago for one that comes to mind.
This all seems like a trivial matter to most of us, but tell that to Simon Callaghan after he had Abel Tasman taken away from his stable last year.
