Whole sentence meaning #1 (permalink) Fri Sep 30, 2005 8:50 am   Whole sentence meaning		  
Dear Alan:
Can you explain me what does it mean?

" I won a lot of money by getting on that horse but it was simply a case of ......... luck.

(a) start's
(b) starter's
(c) beginner's
(d) beginning's "

Why we need using the beginner's here?
Can't really understand "by getting on that horse?"

Thanks and Regards,
Kelly

Hi Kelly,

It's betting on that horse not getting on that horse. Please click on the link below for more information.

Beginner's luck is an idiom which means that a person who is inexperienced in a sport or game achieves success in a particular event.
