I have always been curious about what the significance of the name "Dark Horse" that George used for his label.
Do you know?

The definition of a darkhorse is a political candidate(or a horse) who is not well known but could win unexpectedly. What it means to me is an underdog or someone less known who takes others by surprise by his success. That fits George very well wouldn't you say? He was very underrated as a musician and some of his stuff I think is better than Lennon's or McCartney's. A lot of people don't know this, but George was a major pioneer behind electronic music. He brought in the moog synthesizer to use on Abbey Road and that is a reason for that great sound on Abbey Road. Many consider that to be the best Beatles' album of all time. What do you think is the significance of the name? P.S. I found a cool link to a nice tribute site to George. www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Hall/1056/

I surmized that had something to do with it, but I was not sure if there was some specific reason he picked that at the time. Just wondering.
Thanks for the site. It has some great photos.
