The Morning Line

Posted by David on October 23, 2003

In Damon Runyon's great books a horse racing gambler who has lost all his money is said to have nothing left but "the morning line". This is also the name of a Channel 4 (UK) programme about horse racing.

Does anyone know where the phrase comes from, how it comes to mean what it does.

thanks

David
