Run second leg (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spin

'run second leg' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'second leg' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'leg' becomes 'pin' (pin is a kind of leg).
's'+'pin'='SPIN'

(Other definitions for spin that I've seen before include "Revolve, turn" , "Revolve, whirl" , "Slant put on news etc" , "Rotate quickly" , "Turn rapidly on axis" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
