.("With regard to the horse and jockey analogy , I'm yet to hear anyone offer any surefire ways to improve the situation.").
Acorn,
The answer to that part is simple, and I thought that everyone would have arrived at that solution.
And that is, if you ever owned one or more racehorses, and everytime after the race has been run, you get the same response or excuse from the Jockey:
a) The track was too heavy, b) The track was too hard, c) The track was too fast, d) The race wasn't run to suit, e) He was locked in and couldn't get out in time, or f) He missed the start, etc.
Then there would came a time that you should sack that jockey, and put someone else on the saddle to see if things will improve, and/or even change it's trainer as well.
If then, and only then, nothing will still improve, then you will call that horse a dog, and sell him as dog's meat or to someone who wants to feed him and look at him for ever and a day.
Why would you want to continue to pay fees and Jockeys fees (Exorbitant fees at that mind you), and continue feeding him, if he is never going to give you one ounce of reward or pleasure in return. It is our moneys that we are talking about, while they don't show any refraining in their own emoluments.
