4 horses for courses
«Лошади для скаковых дорожек». Это выражение пришло из мира скачек, где все знают, что некоторые лошади всегда выступают лучше на определённых треках, скаковых кругах, ипподромах. В разговорной речи это выражение обозначает, что любой работе должен соответствовать определённый работник.He was given a job in the Statistics Department, which I would personally find extremely boring. But he has a background of mathematics and he loves working with figures. He should do well. Horses for courses, as they say. — Ему дали работу в отделе статистики, которую я бы счёл скучной. Но у него есть математическая подготовка, и он любит работать с числами. Эта работа для него. Как говорится, каждому коню своя дорожка.
