I presume this term used by Bridge commentators -derives from Horse Racing,used by Bookies,the kind gentlemen that take one's wagers,meaning an inexperienced beter :rolleyes:)) when was it applied.

Another question...who was the first woman in tennis ,to put the second ball,in her knickers{panties} when? and did it stir up comments,as did little mo with her dress sense.----Many years ago
