In a race jurisdiction, the first to record the document is given priority over all others. It is a first in time first in right rule.
In a notice jurisdiction, if someone records but has notice of the existence of another transfer his recording is invalid against someone who later records but has no notice.

The race-notice jurisdiction in a combination of the two in that priority is given to the first good faith purchaser to record.
