A dark horse is an unexpected winner. Someone who wins something completely unexpectedly, out of nowhere, no one would have believed that they would be a winner. The expression was originally used in horse racing as slang to describe a horse that wins that no one would have bet on to win.

Q: What is the valley of ashes in the great Gatsby

<em>Whoaaa! You're reading The Great Gatsby? That's literally the best book I've read in English class! You should definitely watch the movie when you have time because 1. It helped me out on my test and 2. It was so good!</em>

<em />

<em>Alright, enough of the jibber jabbering... let me answer your question.  </em>

<em />

<em>The Valley of Ashes is a farm where ashes grow like wheat into hills, ridges, and even gardens. It's very desolate and empty, marking the intersection of the city with the suburbs. It's between the East and West Egg and is created by the dumping of industrial waste. It symbolizes the moral and social decay, as well as the carefree pursuit of wealth, since the rich do as they please and don't care about anything else besides their own pleasure.</em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helped you out!</em>
