I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'race' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'cook tacos' is the wordplay.
'cook' indicates an anagram.
'tacos' with letters rearranged gives 'ASCOT'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ascot that I've seen before include "Fungus affecting wood" , "Horse-racing venue" , "prestigious meeting" , "Racecourse and cravat" , "English racecourse in Berkshire" .)
