SAYING OF THE WEEK: I HEARD IT...





I heard it straight from the horse´s mouth

 I heard it directly from someone who knows.


It seems that in horse racing circles tips (a piece of special or secret information) on which horse is a likely winner circulate amongst punters (someone who bets on the results of a horse race). 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.
