In horse​ racing, a trifecta is a race in which you must pick the​ first-, second-, and​ third-place winners in their proper order to win a payoff. If sixteensixteen horses are​ racing, and you randomly select three as your bet in the​ trifecta, what is the probability that you will​ win?

Well there are 560 possible combinations for horses to put in the trifecta so your chance that you have the right combination is 1/560.
