Led race that's moved to state (7)
I believe the answer is:
declare
'to state' is the definition.
(I know that declare is a more specific form of the action say)
'led race that's moved' is the wordplay.
'that's moved' is an anagram indicator.
'led'+'race'='ledrace'
'ledrace' is an anagram of 'DECLARE'.
(Other definitions for declare that I've seen before include "say" , "Aver, state" , "Make a statement, to customs perhaps" , "Make clearly known" , "Proclaim" .)
