Search: straight from the horse's mouth
Why: Joel wants to know.
Answer: It's from betting on horse racing!
In horse racing circles, tips on which horse is a likely winner circulate amongst punters. The most trusted authorities are considered to be those in closest touch with the recent form of the horse, i.e. stable lads, trainers, etc. The notional "from the horse's mouth" is supposed to indicate one step better than even that inner circle, i.e. the horse itself.Like a horse knows who's going to win. As if.
