72 a stalking horse
(a stalking horse (тж. stalking-horse))1) предлог, отговорка [этим. охот. заслонная лошадь]2) подставное лицо, ширмаThe price of the 800,000 shares was $20 million. It was all loaned to the Texans by the Young forces. Furthermore, the Alleghany Corp., top Young holding company, agreed to and did repurchase the entire 800,000 shares from Murchison and Richardson after the proxy fight. Obviously, the Texans were mere stalking horses for the Young group, used to evade the ICC restriction and thereby to extend their centrally controlled railroad network. (V. Perlo, ‘The Empire of High Finance’, ch. VI) — Эти 800 тысяч акций стоили по курсу 20 миллионов долларов. Вся эта сумма была дана техасцам взаймы группой янга. Более того, "Аллегани корпорейшн", основная компания-учредитель янга, согласилась перекупить после голосования все эти 800 тысяч акций у Мерчисона и Ричардсона и действительно перекупила. Очевидно, что эти техасцы были для группы янга просто подставными лицами, использованными для того, чтобы обойти ограничения Комиссии по регулированию торговли между штатами и тем самым расширить свою централизованно контролируемую сеть железнодорожных компаний.
3) амер.; полит. фиктивная кандидатура; кандидатура, выдвигаемая с целью раскола голосов сторонников другой партииIn 1866, Harper's Weekly wrote of President Andrew Jackson: ‘He must know that they would willingly use him as a wedge to split the Union party, as a stalking horse to their own purposes...’ (NLP) — В 1866 году в "Харперс уикли" писали о президенте Эндрю Джексоне: "Он должен знать о том, что эти люди охотно его используют, чтобы расколоть ряды сторонников федерации"

73 back the wrong horse
"поставить не на ту лошадь", т. е. сделать плохой выбор, просчитаться; ошибиться в расчётах, в выборе [выражение взято из языка посетителей скачек]...I have to do business for you with people we both know. In their view, I've backed the wrong horse. Fairly openly. It wouldn't have mattered so much doing it openly, if it hadn't been the wrong horse... I should be no good with these people any more. It's time to go. (C. P. Snow, ‘Corridors of Power’, ch. XLVI) —...по долгу службы мне приходится встречаться с людьми, которых мы с вами хорошо знаем. С их точки зрения, я сделал ставку не на ту лошадь. Причем у всех на глазах. Конечно, никто не упрекнул бы меня за это, если бы лошадь выиграла... Для переговоров с этими людьми я больше не гожусь. Значит, мне пора уходить.
‘...we shan't attempt violence. Just keep you under restraint, so to speak.’ ‘I'm afraid you're backing the wrong horse,’ said Tommy. ‘I've no intention of being kept under restraint as you call it.’ (A. Christie, ‘Partners in Crime’, ch. XIV) — -...мы не станем прибегать к насилию. Мы, как говорится, применим к вам меру пресечения. - Боюсь, вы меня не за того принимаете, - ответил Томми. - я не допущу, чтобы в отношении меня применили меру пресечения, как вы это называете.
