Worthless pony went wild (8)
I believe the answer is:
twopenny
'worthless' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'pony went wild' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'pony'+'went'='ponywent'
'ponywent' anagrammed gives 'TWOPENNY'.
(Other definitions for twopenny that I've seen before include "Cheap, worthless" , "vulgar" .)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
