Horses can sprint slightly faster without jockeys due to less weight, but over race distances, jockeys improve overall speed and safety. Skilled riders guide, pace, and motivate horses, helping maintain rhythm, choose optimal paths, and conserve energy. Without a jockey, a horse may accelerate quickly but struggle with control, stamina, and focus, often resulting in slower average performance.

沼香る猛獣　Звір із запахом болота
天より容赦無く降り注ぐ神獣の雫
Краплі божественних звірів, що нещадно ллються з неба

At one of my #Easter singing gigs, the message used the humble #egg as a symbolic #metaphor. Part of the discourse made reference to a shattering egg and I thought immediately of Humpty Dumpty.

Then I began to wonder why #HumptyDumpty became an anthropomorphic egg when the #MotherGoose nursery rhyme doesn’t mention calcium carbonate ovoids at all. 🤔

And now I will always associate a children’s poem and #entropy and #horses and #men failing to assemble a #puzzle with a Christian festival day. 🥚
