Deseeded and added to fresh pesto that's beaten at the last minute (6,2,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
pipped at the post
'beaten at the last minute' is the definition.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pipped at the post that I've seen before include "seed?" , "Almost a winner" , "Defeated at the last moment" , "Closely beaten" , "Beaten in the last stride" .)
