Race officials set out charges (8)
I believe the answer is:
stewards
'race officials' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'set out charges' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'charges' becomes 'wards' (I've seen this in another clue).
'set' anagrammed gives 'ste'.
'ste'+'wards'='STEWARDS'
(Other definitions for stewards that I've seen before include "Officials who manage race meetings" , "They look after passengers on aircraft or ship" , "Officials at events" , "Attendants, on aircraft say" , "Persons employed to manage estates" .)
