The correct way to learn this is as TO BEAT SOMEONE TO SOMETHING (не обязательно IT): “ I wanted to be the first to tell my mother what happened, but my brother beat me to the phone when she called.“
beat to it
опередить в чем-либо
she started to rise, but he beat her to it, straightening those yard-long legs and holding out a hand.
Она начала подниматься, но он опередил её, распрямив свои длиннющие ноги и протянув ей руку.
