Could you explain what the function of "would" in the following sentence is?

(a) Two-horse race
A close or tight battle between two teams for the title (three teams would be a three-horse race, and so on). If we hear this phrase it means that pundits and fans are not sure which of the two (or three) teams will win the title.
