After hearing shot, beat the first two in race (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tribe

'race' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for tribe that I've seen before include "Extended family group" , "Group of related people" , "Clannish group" , "Ethnic group" , "Group of related families" .)
