Jockey on a contract? (5)
I believe the answer is:
rider
'jockey on a contract?' is the definition.
'rider' can be an answer for 'jockey' (horse rider). I'm unsure of the 'on a contract?' bit.
'jockey on a contract?' is the wordplay.
'jockey' becomes 'ride' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on' becomes 're' (regarding).
'a contract?' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'contracted' mean this (to contract is to shorten)).
're' with its final letter removed is 'r'.
'ride'+'r'='RIDER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rider that I've seen before include "Comment from jury" , "Motorcyclist" , "Horseman or add-on verdict by jury" , "Equestrian addition by a jury" , "supported by an Arab, perhaps" .)
