Like small bed in racecourse? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascot

'racecourse?' is the definition.
(British racecourse)

'like small bed' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'small bed' becomes 'cot' (I've seen this before).
'as'+'cot'='ASCOT'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for ascot that I've seen before include "Royal race course" , "sporting event" , "Society race meeting" , "Royal Berkshire race-meeting (and fashion show!)" , "Place for meeting" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
