I Everyone was surprised when she won the competition she proved to be the dark horse of the event. This usage is correct. Dark horse refers to someone who is unexpectedly successful, which fits the context of the competition. II The painter, although known by only a few, was considered a dark horse after his work gained admiration. This is also correct. The painter is described as someone not widely known but who gained admiration unexpectedly, fitting the meaning of dark horse. III The farmer bought a dark horse and a white cow from the market. This usage is incorrect. The phrase dark horse here is used literally to describe the colour of the horse, rather than in its idiomatic sense of an unexpected contender or surprise success.
