Characteristically entertaining Picaroon puzzle - lots of smiles, particularly with some of the "off-the-wall" definitions!

One I'm puzzled by.
19a Still pursuing winning result (6)
U?S?O?

If the definition is "result" there's a pretty obvious answer, but I'm not seeing the parsing. Any hints?

(And agreed: very entertaining, and yielded at a nice pace with plenty of 'ahas' as well as smiles)

Fairly straight forward puzzle except for this last clue
Monarch put on excessive fur. O?T?R that is if I have everything else correct.
Hint?
