Dark horse

A dark horse is a little-known person or thing that emerges to prominence, especially in a competition of some sort〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A dark horse )〕 or a contestant that seems unlikely to succeed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dark horse )
==Origin==
The term began as horse racing parlance for a race horse that is not known to gamblers and thus is difficult to place betting odds on.
The earliest-known mention of the concept is in Benjamin Disraeli's novel ''The Young Duke'' (1831). Disraeli's protagonist, the Duke of St. James, attends a horse race with a surprise finish: "A dark horse which had never been thought of, and which the careless St. James had never even observed in the list, rushed past the grandstand in sweeping triumph."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Origins of Sayings - A Dark Horse )
