The American expression“shoo-in”means someone or something that seems sure to win a race or competition.
Before a big football game,supporters of e ach team are certain to argue about which side will win.
Sometimes,however, one team appears so much stronger than the others that everyone agrees it will win.The stronger team is a shoo-in.There is no way that it can lose.
The expression shoo-in comes from horse racing.It comes from the word “shoo''.That’s not the shoe we wear on our foot.It's another word,S-H-O-O.“To shoo”is an expression hundreds of years old that means to urge a person or animal to move in a desired direction.
Many years ago,dishonest riders sometimes agreed secretly to control their horses so that one chosen horse would win the race.All but one of the riders would hold back thei horses.The chosen rider would shoo his horse ahead of the others,and win the race.

The public soon learned about such races.They began to call the winner of such a race a“shoo-in".
These days,people use shoo-in to describe any athlete or competitor that seems certain to win,even without cheating.American runner Edw in Moses won more than one hundred races before he ran the hurdles race in the nineteen-eighty-four Olympic Games.Everyone said Moses was a shoo-in and that he could not lose.And they were right.He won the gold medal.
