Crossword Genius

Jump by horse or antelope (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

buck

This clue is a triple definition!

'jump' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'by' acts as a link.

'horse' is the second definition.
('buck' can be a synonym of 'horse')

'or' is a link.

'antelope' is the third definition.
(I have seen 'Male antelope ' mean 'buck' so perhaps 'antelope' could also mean 'buck')

(Other definitions for buck that I've seen before include "Dollar (slang)" , "Male hare" , "Male kangaroo" , "some Australians try to make fast" , "(Of a horse) jump vertically with legs stiff and back arched" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
