I just want to point out that it's "hole card," not "whole card." > > Thanks. I know next to nothing about horse racing and nothing at all about betting. They are kind of mixing metaphors. "Hole card" comes from stud poker, where some cards are turned up, and some are kept face down, so only the person whose hand it is knows what their "hole cards" are. The term "hole card' evolved to mean something a person holds back to use in a pinch, a sort of hidden strength. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
