A song (a great one too, although not terribly well sung or produced) and the title track of the 1974 Apple album of the same name by the late, great George Harrison. Dark Horse was also the name of the visionary guitarist and composer's record label (distributed by the Brothers Warner), which he recorded seven albums for after leaving Apple (the label the Beatles formed in 1968) in 1976. Harrison himself was also known as the Dark Horse of the Beatles, a reference to a racehorse that people bet little on in the beginning, but who ultimately outshines his competitors in the end. When you have Lennon, McCartney and Martin as your mentors and Clapton, Dylan, and Shankar as three of your best friends, you can't help but radiate brilliance, as George did — and still does. As the Man himself sang:
"I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Looking for the source
I'm a dark horse."
Running on a dark race course

Looking for the source
I'm a dark horse."

The award which Shreya Tatke deserves to win. She is genuinely one of the sweetest people I have ever met and she is the most wholesome person on the server. I only know her for 1-2 months but honestly she is one of the best people I have known . And don't forget #TatkeforDarkHorse.

The dark days aren't over, and they're not going to be without a fight. Things are going to keep getting shut down unless people wake up and fight.
The dark horse days are not something people get to forget yet, since they are not over yet, as people are told they are in some countries.
