French painter given some racing results (6)
I believe the answer is:
ingres
'french painter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'some racing results' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'INGRES' is hidden within 'racing results'.
'given' is the link.
(Other definitions for ingres that I've seen before include "French painter known for his portraits" , "French painter of elegant portraits" , "French artist" , "Producer of old pictures" , "Odalisque painter" .)
