The Spanish race has horse coming after ten others (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eleventh

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

'coming after ten others' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'the spanish race has horse' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'race' becomes 'event' (I've seen this before).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'horse' becomes 'H' (synonyms).
'el'+'event'+'h'='ELEVENTH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eleventh that I've seen before include "This hour is the latest possible time for doing something" , "it's after ten" , "Last to go in at Lord's" , "at such a late hour?" , "last man in?" .)
