No sign of - isn't at the race
'no sign' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'isn't at the race' is the wordplay.
'isn't' becomes 'not' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'not'+'at'+'race'='NOT A TRACE'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?

'of isn't at the race' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'at' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
