Hello Everyone!
Well, I am trying to gather all possible combinations for 10 horses for 3 place finishers. The 3 place finish is to illustrate a trifecta ticket. Example:
1-2-3
1-2-4
1-2-5
1-2-6
.
.
.
2-3-6
2-4-5
2-8-9
I understand for 10 horses, I should have a total of 720 combinations for a trifecta group. I really need help and I cannot figure out what formulas to use to achieve this. Also, I would like the formula to immediately toss out duplicates like (1-2-2, 2-2-4, etc.) in which that the #2 horse cannot finish in 2nd or 3rd place - only one place.
Thank you for your attention to this headache and I hope to hear from someone soon!
