I believe the answer is:
win
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">finish first</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for win that I've seen before include "Gain; triumph" , "Achieve victory" , "Come out on top" , "Be successful" , "Trumph" .)
