After reading the above posts and doing some more thinking, I've decided to flat bet the trifecta at $50 across all tracks (3-horse box = $300).
The trifecta pools vary not only by track but by day of week and race number of day. Too much work to attempt some sort of optimized Kelly solution. I don't want to turn this into a J-O-B.
I'm killing it now. So what if my risk/reward is a little higher on some tracks. I'm still making money.
Thank you for the feedback. This is a great resource.
