737 Question on emergency retraction of landing gear on ground

Hypothetical Scenario.

For whatever reason, assume a B737 has total brake failure on landing leaving only reverse thrust to slow the aircraft down. The decision is made to retract the landing gear to avoid a disastrous over-run.

Would the landing gear retract on the ground by using the landing gear lever over-ride trigger? Or would you need to pull the air/ground switch circuit breaker to permit the landing gear over-ride switch to do its job? I realise the landing gear over-ride trigger is to cater for a case where the gear does not retract after take off.
