I believe the answer is:

disclose

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

'show on the record that you are beaten by' is the definition.
'disclose' can be an answer for 'show' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the remainder of the definition.

'show on the record' is the wordplay.
'show' becomes 'lose' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the record' becomes 'disc' ('disc' can be a synonym of 'record').
'lose' put after 'disc' is 'DISCLOSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disclose that I've seen before include "Divulge, reveal" , "Uncover" , "Lay bare" , "Divulge or expose" , "Announce" .)
