I prefer, due to my white trash rural roots:
“That dog won’t hunt.”
I don’t have a don’t in this don’t.

“I dont have a horse in this fight” makes sense if context is Calvary charge. I dk im drunk.
And a dog in this race for greyhound racing
"I’m not the sharpest crayon in the basket. "
“Does the pope shit in the woods?”
I don’t know. I don’t have a horse in this dogfight. Still working on his pilot’s license.
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.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.
“I don’t have a monkey in this circus”
“I don’t have a sea slug in this drive by.” Conjures images of underwater sea violence and muddies your message.
I don’t have a dog in this horse.
I don’t have a race in this fight.
“I don’t fight in other people’s races.”
Implies that my fighting is done strictly at my own behest:-).
‘Corn Maze’ by Aesop Rock
“The phone pings from a pillow fort in a corn maze. I don’t have a horse in your war games”
“He was like a dildo in a lightbulb store: wasn’t the brightest, but never failed to please his teacher.”
