Are such races never close? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
open events
'are such races never' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'close?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'close?' could be 'event' (close is a kind of event) and 'event' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'opens' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
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?
