What does not work?

You may get more than 3 races?

In this case, you could use:

<dtml-in .... sort=closingdate reverse> <!-- this sorts with latest closingdate first 
-->
  <dtml-if "closingdate > ZopeTime() and _.getitem('sequence-number') <= 3">
    .... your presentation code ....
  </dtml-if>
</dtml-in>

This will give you the list sorted with decreasing closingdate.
If you want a list sorted with increasing closingdate, you could use:

<dtml-in .... sort=closingdate>
  <dtml-if "closingdate > ZopeTime()
            and (_.getitem('sequence-length') - _.getitem('sequence-index')) <=3">
     .... your presentation code ....
  </dtml-if>
</dtml-in>


For more details, look at the variable list defined inside <dtml-in>.
