A dark horse, which had never been thought of, and which had, up to this moment, been in an obscure stable, suddenly burst upon the field, and, rushing past the grandstand, was hailed a winner.

About Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

British Prime Minister who built modern Conservative populism; the only PM of Jewish heritage and a celebrated novelist before politics. Closely associated with Lord Salisbury (his Conservative successor as PM). For an intellectual contrast, see William Ewart Gladstone, four-time Liberal Prime Minister — the two alternated as PM four times — Gladstone's free-trade moralism and Disraeli's imperialist pragmatism are the founding poles of British party politics.
