"A one-horse race" = cuộc đua độc mã. Thành ngữ này dùng để nói về cuộc đua hay cuộc thi mà chỉ có một đối thủ có khả năng thắng vì họ vượt trội hơn những người khác.

Ví dụ
Last night they landed a second mighty blow on the one team who seemed capable of making this championship a one-horse race.

In contrast to the Million, where the horses were clustered (tụm lại) throughout, the Beverly D. was a one-horse race for the opening three quarters.

City get the ball rolling for the second half. Meanwhile, before any meaningful action occurs, here’s our old friend Mac Millings making reference (tham khảo) to an MBM from 2007, for goodness sake. “Dearest Scott, I know It’s back! and It’s on!, but, while I’m excitedly nervous about how my hometown Hornets and their record signing, Ismaila Sarr, are going to fare, as far as the top of the table goes, I am decidedly uninspired by a two-horse race that’s really a one-horse race.
