Losers (4-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

also-rans

'losers' is the definition.
('also-ran' can be a synonym of 'loser')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for also-rans that I've seen before include "They do not finish in the first three" , "Non-placed entrants" , "They're not placed among the first three" , "They don't win the race" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Guardian.
