The other riders would secretly bet large amounts of money that the chosen horse would win．

The public soon learned about such races．They began to call the winner of such a race a“shoo-in"．

These days，people use shoo-in to describe any athlete or competitor that seems certain to win，even without cheating．American runner Edw in Moses won more than one hundred races before he ran the hurdles race in the nineteen-eighty-four Olympic Games．Everyone said Moses was a shoo-in and that he could not lose．And they were right．He won the gold medal．
