'Over the sticks' có từ stick là que, cái gậy -> cụm từ này nghĩa là đua ngựa vượt rào (steeplechase, horse racing over fences).

Ví dụ
One particularly nasty somersault over the sticks at Larkhill left her strapped to a spinal board.

Gordon's had a busy time of it over the winter and a bit of success over the sticks so I think he deserves the summer off.

It’s one of those days when, even as a jumps fan, I find myself feeling rather doubtful about my chances over the sticks at Lingfield and Southwell. Perhaps it’s because they’re essentially all-weather tracks that are only playing at jump racing for the afternoon.
