you almost rescued the analogy, but not quiet.

    Hmm, it's more like investing in/always betting on a solid racing stable. You know the jockeys they use are great (investor community), you know their horses are from great stock (top applicants), you know that the breeders, handlers and trainers (advisors and partners) are THE most experienced in the area. You know the stable only enter horses into races (markets) where they think the odds of placing are good, or the opportunity cost is so low for a potential outsider. Sure there are other stables, and sure, some of the horses in this figurative stable are co-owned by people with very different aims from you (boot strapping cofounders?), and some are backed some of your competitors.
