For the most part it is a waste of time either way. I rarely gave instructions to Day when he rode for me and it worked out well except this was one occasion where I wanted to do something specific with the horse because of a change in training and he just absolutely disregarded what I said. And the funny thing is his agent got mad when I took him off the horse and rode Bejerano next out in stake at KY Downs and then at Keeneland.
