What to do in the enclosure after the race (8)
I believe the answer is:
unsaddle
'race' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unsaddle that I've seen before include "Throw" , "get kit off in stable" , "Dislodge a horse rider from their seat" , "tend horse" , "shift from mount" .)
