Crossword Genius

Those putting coats on horses (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

platers

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'those putting coats on' is the first definition.
(people who coat things eg in metal)

'horses' is the second definition.
(horses running in plate races)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
