Little known runner? (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dark horse

(Other definitions for dark horse that I've seen before include "Brown heroin" , "Unfancied winner" , "Candidate, not well known" , "unexpectedly successful entry" , "Black Beauty, for instance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
