A horse’s most recent and next to most recent Speed Figure can provide a strong indication of its raw speed, and therefore a strong factor as to whether the horse is fast enough to compete with the other entrants he faces in any given contest.
In most races, where horses have already had 5 or 6 races under their belt and are unlikely to undergo any further dramatic improvement, 20 to 25 percent of the field can be eliminated on Speed Ratings alone.
Dark Horse Ratings use a Master Rating based on a horses last three races, so that the effect of just one anomalous performance is negated – to a certain extent.

Probably the best-known example of a dark horse is James K. Polk, who was selected at the Democratic convention of 1844 on the ninth ballot, although he had not been nominated until the eighth ballot.

 Amazon.com: Dark Horse: Books: Tami Hoag   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Elena Estes is a former cop whose bravado on the force resulted in a colleague's death; it also cost her her job and her self-esteem, not to mention the psychological and physical fallout from nearly being shot.
Also, while Hoag obviously has some knowledge and experience in horse competition (jumping and dressage), she didn't present nearly enough detail about this subject so that readers might actually learn something, other than the fact that really bad people are sometimes involved.
That being said, I kind of liked "Dark Horse." The plot moved, there were unexpected twists, and some of the characters, especially Elena Estes, though cliched, were interesting.
