Quick Poll! What's more important in the outcome of a race, the jockey or the trainer?

I'm going with trainer, because it's easier for a bad jockey to win on a well trained horse than a top jockey to bring home a poorly trained one. What do you guys think?

Jockey......trainer's comment today " it'll definitely need the run", jockey rides it from a wide draw and shits in.

In-separable, they need each other to succeed, think about it.
Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

the trainer way more than the jockey(the jockey has a few minutes up but the trainer has hundreds of hours invested in most horses BUT the feedback from a Jockey before and after a race can often help the animal)
