Are you sure you don't mean "dark horse?"  The term refers to one (whether horse or person) who is unlikely to win; one the odds makers predict is very unlikely to win, to be precise.

It means to thoroughly dominate your opponent by not giving them a chance to do anything.  Essentially it's a billiards term - to knock in your remaining balls all in a row without giving up your shot, thus not allowing your opponent to come to the table to have a shot at winning.  In other sports, it means to simply beat the tar out of your opponent, not giving them a chance to come back and win.

Basically, handicapping is looking at a horse in a particular race to decide how well the horse will do in that race.  Professional handicappers do this to see if a horse would be at an advantage or disadvantage in a race, and to see if adjustments should be made to equal out the field of horses.  For example, a proven winner and experienced horse might have to carry more weight in a race than a green, unproven horse to give the green horse a better chance at winning the race, since the more weight a horse carries the harder it is to run.  Professional handicappers do this by looking at things like race record, who the horse has raced against before, how long since the horse raced last, who may be riding the horse, etc.\nFor the amateur handicapper who just wants to place a good bet, handicapping can be as simple as looking for the best horse in the paddock before the race to studying a horse for weeks before the race to find the best one.  Most handicappers look at four things when looking at a horse: Speed, or how fast the horse can run or has run before, Pace, or how the horse likes to run in a race (you dont want to bet on the sprinter who can only run fast for a quarter mile to win in a mile long race for example), Form, or how the horse looks (for example, if the horse has won the past five races it has been in, it is more likely to win than the horse who has not won in the past five races), and Class, or how high a calibur the horse is (you would expect a horse that won the Kentucky Derby to be able to beat a field of horses in a claiming race just because the Kentucky Derby horse should be of a higher caliber than the claiming horses).  Other factors could be considered, such as pedigree, trainer, rider, weather, condition of the racetrack, etc.  The best place to find out alll this information is the Daily Racing Form.  Pick one up the day before a race or go online at www.drf.com to see the statistics on each horse in a race, then pick who you think will be a winner. Handicapping is not an exact science, so try out different ways and see which works best for you.

I think you nailed it. It fits the definition of a sport, \n\n"an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition" .

Before the tote boards came into existence, the odds were and any other changes (weight, equipment, etc) were written on a blackboard with chalk...\n\nEach horse would  be listed on the chalk board and before the race, the odds would change constantly, as it does nowadays. There was always  two or three horses that received the most play until finally before the race, the racetrack, bookmakers, would have a favorite, which often would have the most chalk, from being constantly erased, next to its name listed with the odds.\n\nSo, the bettors would often ask one another, "who's the chalk?"... Meaning, who's the favorite?\n\nThe term chalk is still used 'til this day....\n\nAnd, would you like to know how the term pool hall got started. Where and why..?..Maybe we'll save that for another question....

This completely depends on the horse. If you're asking as a gambling tip, you're better off asking about a specific horse. You need to take in their workouts, their racing style, their trainer, and even their jockey.

It means that you've succeeded ZERO times out of a total of TWO tries, at something.\n\nLike if a sports team has won 1 game out of 6, then they are 1 for 6. Does that help?
