There is no race in the sense of a competition, all sperm are equally affected by the chemical signals. When the sperm reaches the egg, its tail is cast off; thus disposing of male mitochondrial material; and the egg is immediately changed by the entry of the sperm so that another sperm cannot enter. Then follows the joining of the two DNA strands etc.
