It matches Brave Chief's formula (oft-repeated according to the search function).
It assumes unbiased distributions, Win returns of 84% and Trifecta returns of 80%.

Hi JFC,
Thanks for contributing to my request for a solution to the Trifecta problem, unfortunately I could not get a sensible result with the example given. Perhaps if you have time you could walk me through the formula to see how you came up with the result.
Thanks
