Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascot

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

'racecourse' is the definition.
(British racecourse)

'person from kelso say' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'say' could be 'as' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'as' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ct' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ascot that I've seen before include "Society race meeting" , "Where the Queen often sees racehorses" , "Necktie with wide square ends" , "English horse racing venue on coast" , "Berkshire town, famous for horse racing" .)
