trifectas

Does anyone have a large enough data base--thousands of races
to tell me what the average payoff for trifectas is with 9, 10, 11 and 12 horse fields---at one or many tracks? This is a piece of info I'd like to get towards a method of betting trifectas
thanx

Alosha,

Thousands is kinds tough, but I can do a few thousand:



entries # Trifectas Avg Payout
----------------------------------------------
8 3800 452.39
9 2832 655.65
10 2530 968.17
11 1760 1760.17
12 1611 1965.80



Oh well, it was aligned on the input form. If you need a larger sample, I'm sure you'll find someone with more data. Also note that Arthur Anderson has not certified this data, so usual caveats apply.
