Race for the early edition (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relay

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'race' is the definition.
(relay race)

'the early edition' is the wordplay.
'early' can be anagrammed to 'RELAY'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for relay that I've seen before include "supplementary store of anything" , "article in bank" , "Broadcast" , "Hand, pass on" , "track event" .)
