Clue examples for cryptic crosswords

Some clues analysed with answers derived from puzzles by Bryan Gabriel, published 2000.
Some clues have extra words in addition to the plain clue and the bare minimum for the rest such as the actual anagram phrase and anagram indicator, or the actual defininitions of parts to assemble. These serve two purposes; to "smooth" the surface reading of the clue, as a phrase or sentence; and possibly to suggest a little more how one reading emerges from the other.

Clue: "Stock speed trial"
First definition: "Stock" as in ancestry, lineage, breed, &c.
