    I’m not a native English speaker, but in my experience “I don’t have a horse in this race” seems more common.

      I’m a native, and I’d agree. But it’s a funny post so, I’ll ignore that.

        IMO, “dog in this fight” is more common where Ive lived: Appalachia, mid-Atlantic, Midwest. I wouldn’t be surprised if it also varies by region, class, etc.
