Race starter (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adam

'race starter' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for adam that I've seen before include "Biblical first human" , "First person" , "the first orphan?" , "one might confuse with total stranger" , "Biblical first man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Evening Standard.
