Identical time in race? (5)
I believe the answer is:
event
'race?' is the definition.
(race is a kind of event)
'identical time' is the wordplay.
'identical' becomes 'even' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'even'+'t'='EVENT'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for event that I've seen before include "A notable occurrence or happening" , "Occurren" , "Anything which happens" , "Incident - final outcome" , "heat, perhaps" .)
