Origin
The expression is an emphatic variation of the earlier piss like a horse, a comparison necessitated by the biological reality that a horse produces a significant volume of urine roughly every four hours. The addition of the racehorse provides a specific, if no more productive, equine image to the long-standing observation of the animal's urinary capacity.
