They attract long odds - to us, rides should be reorganised (9)
I believe the answer is:
outsiders
'they attract long odds' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'to us rides should be reorganised' is the wordplay.
'should be reorganised' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'us'+'rides'='tousrides'
'tousrides' anagrammed gives 'OUTSIDERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for outsiders that I've seen is " Competitors or horses with little chance of winning - not in the club".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
