Five horses - 'FIRST', 'SECOND', 'THIRD', 'FOURTH' and 'FIFTH' ran in the race. (There were no ties.)
'FIRST' did not come first.
'SECOND' was neither first nor last.
'THIRD' came in one place after 'FIRST'.
'FOURTH' was not second.
'FIFTH' was two places below 'FOURTH'.
In what order did the horses finish?

FOURTH 1st; SECOND 2nd; FIFTH 3rd; FIRST 4rth; THIRD 5rth.

(I nearly fell over when I read SilverKnight's solution. Talk about killing a mosquito with a sledgehammer !!!!!!)
