There are still some sunrays left this week ;)
Good thing to know about AF is that it will focus on the closest object regarding to dog racing.
So if you activate all AF points, the nearest dog will be in focus with its closest to camera body part. Since you're shooting with f6.3 aperture, dof will include sharpness of the eyes.

Why not take advantage of all 33 AF points, which will increase the time between AF confirmation and shutter release?
Color or Brightness of one subject only doen't matter for AF, only the overall contrast (brightness or color).
For moving objects, your focusing method is not fast enough to keep up with the runners. AF is so fast, you can only recognize the short change in the viewfinder (or with screw-driven lenses by sound of the motor).
Reading about your method and issues and regarding your D FA* 70-200mm DC lens, i'm sure there's room for improvement.
Try following settings:
Menu 📷 Tab 1
Group Phase Detection AF
AF Mode: AF.C
AF Active Area: Expanded Area AF (L) or as alternative AUTO (33 AF Points)
1st Frame Action In AF.C: Focus Priority
Action In AF.C Cont.: Auto
Hold AF Status: Medium
Menu 📷 Tab 5
Group Viewfinder Overlay
Grid Display: Off |
