49a agree Stake . . . .
compiler is trying to trick you with "winning post". Think of post as a synonym.

Many thanks. A bit obscure methinks!! Apologies for wrong clue number; should have typed 49D.
No worries dun, agree the clue is crafty but nevertheless valid, although I've never done this crossword. Regards, ja
