Racy sort of poems? (5)

I believe the answer is:

epsom

'racy' is the definition.
(Epsom is a race course)

'sort of poems?' is the wordplay.
'sort of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'poems' with letters rearranged gives 'EPSOM'.

(Other definitions for epsom that I've seen before include "The Oaks and Derby are run here" , "Mopes around English Derby venue" , "Mares would triumph here" , "Home to the Derby and the Oaks" , "Surrey racecourse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
