"First past the post" = người đầu tiên qua vạch -> nghĩa là người về nhất cuộc đua hoặc đạt được điều gì đầu tiên.

Ví dụ
The theory is that whoever is “first past the post” will gain near-monopoly (độc quyền) power, cornering the potentially colossal (khổng lồ) market.

The class runner in Saturday's field, Superium was first past the post in the Up And Coming Stakes last spring, only to lose the race in the stewards' room. He has a pattern of racing well fresh and while he is untested on heavy ground, Pride expects him to relish (thích thú) it.

Chevalier Cathare was consistent (phù hợp) all last year. He was first past the post on his final start at Chantilly only to be disqualified (truất quyền thi đấu) as he was later found to have an unacceptable medication (cho thuốc) in his system.
