'turn up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a race meeting on purpose' is the wordplay.
'race' becomes 'tt'.
'meeting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'on purpose' becomes 'end' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.**).
'a'+'tt'+'end'='ATTEND'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for attend that I've seen before include "Be present or appear at" , "Wait and listen" , "visit" , "Be there ? pay attention" , "Go regularly to, church perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
