I would have to agree with your above calculations as all the tests i have done have given a higher payout than i have assesed ....but this can only be to our advantage because it is better to get a higher payout then you predicted than it is to get a lower one.....the thing i find most interesting of all is that the win prices have nothing to do with the trifecta dividends....they are determined the same way as the win.....the total trifecta pool less 20% devided by the total number of winning combinations...we know that the 3 favs are put in the trifectas the most...but take this as an example a horse is priced at $25 it has run a place in all of its 20 starts but never won it's place price is $2 this horse would be added to all trifectas or most of them so if you ran the formula you would get a different price to the actual payout.....teletext used to show the trifecta trends...i think they are only shown in tabs now....that is the only way to really determin the payout
