This is not a racial slur as some of you may think but a nearly archaic political term: dark horse | ˌdärk ˈhôrs | noun a candidate or competitor about whom little is known but who unexpectedly wins or succeeds: [as modifier] : a dark-horse candidate. ORIGIN early 19th century: originally racing slang.
