Mounts for short races perhaps? (10)
I believe the answer is:
carthorses
'mounts' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'short races perhaps?' is the wordplay.
'perhaps?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'perhaps' mean this).
'short'+'races'='shortraces'
'shortraces' is an anagram of 'CARTHORSES'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
