The Language of Sports part 2, Boxing and Horse racing


And in second and third place after baseball.....

Boxing

Below the belt



Horse racing

Down the stretch
Blow by blow Each way bet
Fight to the finish Falling at the last or the first (fence)
Going the distance First past the post
In your corner Home stretch
Knock out Hot favorite
Knock out punch Long odds
Left / right hook Long shot
Low blow Neck and neck
On the canvas Odds on
On the ropes Photo finish
Out for the count Rank outsider
Ring rusty Slow out of the gates
Sucker punch Trifecta
Throw in the towel Two horse race
Uppercut
Saved by the bell
Toe to toe
Crack the whip
Pipped at the post

We must add toe to toe and saved by the bell to the boxing list.
