NINETEENTH POLE - the facetiously-named "pole" 1 3/16 mile from the finish line, thus 1/16 mile BEFORE the starting line of a 9-furlong race. Refers to the position of a horse considered - usually jeeringly - to be so slow that it can't even reach the gate before the race is over.

PINETEENTH HOLEAlong around the sixteenth hole when it's a hot and sweaty day, one longs for the shade and a cold drink and cannot wait for the nineteenth hole.
