The cost of the trifecta is basically the number of combinations you take. We are trying to get more frequent returns (with value) with less outlay.

That is why I still think that if the 2nd fav comes 2nd more than any other runner and 3rd fav comes 3rd more than any other runner, then why not stand these out in these positions. I am just trying to reduce outlay here but still can get good dividends.
Maybe I will also look at standing out 2nd/3rd favs for second with multiples for 1st and 3rd. And, 2nd/3rd favs for 3rd with multiples for 1st and 3rd. That way if the 3rd fav comes 2nd or the 2nd fav comes 3rd, then can still be in with a chance.
