run 5 horses in each and we would have 5 fastest horses.

You are looking for horses to get killed in the making of the race!
If I ever what o use this problem statement, I would specify full length of the course with enough room for one horse in each lane.

5/25:1 - 6
5/25:2 - 7 (last race: 2 horses)
5/25:3 - 7
5/25:4 - ?
