英语词汇garrison finish的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Garrison finish. Holding Montana back from the pack until they came into the homestretch, “Snapper” Garrison suddenly stood high in the stirrups, bending low over the horse’s mane in his famous “Yankee seat” and whipped the mount toward the finish line, moving up with a rush and winning the 1882 Suburban Handicap by a nose. This race made jockey Edward H. Garrison an American turf hero. Garrison, who died in 1931, aged 70, used his new technique many times over his long career, winning many of his races in the last furlong, and the Garrison finish became so well-known that it was applied to any close horse race, finally becoming synonymous with all last-minute efforts—in sports, politics, or any other field.
