Yes, it's correct thorns.
You get the better strike rate of the second fave and the worse strike rate of the third fave as an average, not together.

As another example, faves have a 30% s/r.

Add that to second and third faves and you get 21.29% strike rate, because it's the average.

This is the strike rate of the horses not strike rate per race.
