Answer / saurabh

13 races in total.

It might also happen that all best 3 horses are running in
one of the 5 races all together. Therefore we will be
selecting top 3 for every race.

After 5 races-->we will have top 15 horses
+ After 3 races-->we will have top 9 horses
+ after 2 races--> we will have top 6 horses
+ after 2 races--> we will have top 4 horses
+ after 1 race--> top 3 horses
Total races = 13
