@ TruckOSaurus: That`s really the sort of thing you have to specify on the description of the problem! It`s not cheating if you didn`t warn me.

But the fact that your got so worked up over that is a clue...
If the least ammount of races was a number smaller than 5, I guess you would simply tell me that I am wrong instead of acusing me of cheating. So the number of races has to be 5, because 6 is the most obvious (wrong) answer.

So based on those facts, my guess is 5 is the lleast ammount of races! Am I right?

I'm gonna assume that you meant you separated all 25 horses into groups of 5 and that you raced them all in your 5 races but that wouldn't be enough for you to figure out the three best horses because each horse is being compared to only 4 other horses.
